Rolling Thunder
“Damn stupid for both of us, as it turned out, but stupider for him. Cosmo had his following, but at that time and in that place, it was dwarfed by the people who felt love and affection for dear, sweet, modest Poddy. Public reaction was overwhelmingly in my favor.And the suit wouldn’t be likely to go anywhere. Mars is not a litigious society, because we don’t use the trial by jury method for civil matters. Both sides get to air their story on the Net, and the public decides. There are perils in... this, but there are also checks and balances and reviews, and it works pretty well. Plus, you don’t need a lawyer, and Grandma Kelly says that any system that makes less work for lawyers is always an improvement.Cosmo was from Earth, and probably didn’t understand our system all that well. He probably expected his day in court. He probably expected sympathy for his injuries, and may even have expected to sway a jury with his patented line of bullshit. I don’t doubt the man would have been pleased to drop his pants in court to show his shortened weenie.MoreLess
