I don't know what to think about this.

 

I think they should let him do it just for laughs and hire Kimbo Slice or something as the court champion. 

[Fidite Nemini]

Let him.

 

Then trial the winner for manslaughter.

[Snook]

This is how things should still be settled anyway tbh.

Really?

Well I gotta admire the guy for trying however if he is trying to throw a spanner into the cogs of the US legal system just because it has never officially been outlawed in the United States does not mean there is a precedent, don't believe there is anything in the constitution that states if a person does not trust a fair judgement from a jury of his peers he can take the matter to the gods in a trial by combat (please correct me if I am wrong), has there ever been a trial by combat in US history?

 

What about the methods of trial employed in the Salem witch hunts? What is the status on them? Were they officially outlawed or were they only for testing witches? Probably not the best method to ask for if you plan to live through to the end of the trial though.

No, not per se... but there have been pistol duels on the White House lawn? I mean... that's a form of combat, I suppose.

Well, the Salem Witch trials were before the founding of the country and wouldn't play into any legal precedent except as an antecedent example, I believe. <taking comment way too seriously>

I love the comment section in that article.

This... I gotta watch.

[Halfdan The Menace]

For some reason I want Gregor Clegane to duel with that guy. Aye! that be fun to watch!

[Killdren88]

Ah...the warm feelings I felt during the mountain and Martell fight....

So my understanding is that he's basically using the Air Bud clause of "Well, you never specifically told me I couldn't do it".

 

As amusing as it would be, I can't imagine that they're actually going to allow this. On the off chance that they do, they would shut it down pretty quickly otherwise everybody is going to start doing this.

This sounds like a way to make truTV way more fun.

Yeah, the idea rests on a certain loophole you could use via the Ninth Amendment. This article goes into a bit of detail, though it's a couple years old now:

Of course, you're probably right that even if this does work out, legislation would probably be passed to outlaw it soon after.

[Beerfish]

If I was the judge I would allow it but I would also say, sorry RR Martin just killed you off and send the guy to the chair.

[LPPrince]

As others are saying, even if this was allowed it'll get taken care of immediately afterward so that no one does this again. Otherwise trial by combat will become quite common in today's age.

I love that we live in a world where something like "the Airbud clause" can even be theorized about.

You say that like its a bad thing.

I like where this is going...

Let me put it this way: trial by combat is as possible as trial by sex or trial by hotdog eating contest.

[Fidite Nemini]

 

trial by sex

 

I've read enough hentai to see where this is going ... proceed.
