TO: PLANTIFF JON SNOW, KING IN THE NORTH AND TO HIS ATTORNEY OF RECORD, TYRION LANNISTER, ESQ.:

PLEASE BE ADVISED that Defendant Cersei Lannister, through undersigned counsel, moves this court for an order excluding the evidence and testimony pertaining to Defendant Cersei Lannister’s extramarital affair with Jamie Lannister and other men. See California Evidence Code Sections 350, 352, and 1101 (a). This motion is made on the grounds that the aforementioned evidence is extremely prejudicial, immaterial to the legal matter at hand, and will undoubtedly confuse and mislead the Triers of Fact. This motion is based on this notice of motion, the memorandum of points and authorities served and filed here, the material evidence and pleadings

Lannister’s alleged sexual relations with Jamie Lannister and other men. It is without question that the prosecution intends to present this evidence as a means of emotionally harassing Ms. Lannister and to provoke a visceral response from the Jury. Furthermore, this evidence and testimony are irrelevant to the legal matter at hand. As such, this court should exclude the reference, mention, evidence, or testimony concerning Defendant Cersei Lannister’s extramarital affair(s) for its inconsequential nature and the likelihood that this evidence will contribute to significantly biasing Ms. Lannister’s defense. It is within the legal rights of a party to limit the presentation of harmful evidence solely as a means of character assassination towards the plaintiff. See California Evidence Code Sections 352 and 1101 (a). Purposely, an in limine motion is paramount to upholding the impartial nature of the Triers of Fact by preventing irrelevant and harmful information to influence the jury even when stricken from the record. (High Sparrow v. Tyrell 83 Cal.App.2d 425, 443 (1953))

    The most damning evidence against Mary Surratt came from Surrattsville tavern keeper John Lloyd (Linder, 2002). According to Linder, Lloyd told the Military Commission that about a month before the assassination he was visited and asked by three other conspirators to conceal two carbines, ammunition, about twenty feet of rope, and a monkey-wrench. Mary Surratt suggested hiding them under joists in a second-floor room. Lloyd testified that three days before the assassination, Mary Surratt told him that “the shooting irons” left at his home by the conspirators weeks ago would be needed soon. On the day of the assassination, according to Lender (2002), Mrs. Surratt once again brought up the subject.…

    One of the foremost controversial arguments that Davis constructs regarding Bertrand de Rols is that she did, in fact, know that Arnauld du Tilh was not her genuine husband. Davis draws this conclusion from principally circumstantial evidence and crafty inference on her part. One of the chief historical documents, Coras’ Arrest Memorable, that she cites actually states the precisely opposite conclusion. Coras draws the reasonable conclusion that Bertrande knew nothing of the ingenious deception of du Tilh, and being the judge on the controversial case, rules accordingly. Davis takes it upon herself to infer out of the context of this document that Bertrande may have gone along with it to for socially advantageous reasons.…

    However, Vinny accredited this to his superb persuasion skills rather than the fact that it is required for the opposing party to share relevant facts concerning the case. This is due to the 1963 Supreme Court Case Brady v. Maryland, which ruled that Due Process requires defendants to be given any exculpatory information, commonly referred to an “open file” policy. Discovery refers to the entitlement each party has to receive information that the opposing side has in possession, thus preventing surprises in court. An example of this was when the D.A. called his own expert witness in automobiles and Vinny was not aware, yet the judge allowed it. Additionally, My Cousin Vinny was accurate in representing both the prosecution and defense's closing arguments, which refers to the fact that no more evidence will be presented because both sides have finished arguing.…

    To your own knowledge, has John Proctor ever committed the crime of lechery?” (Miller 1260). Hoping to protect her husband, Elizabeth lies to the court and says no. This instance gives Deputy Governor Danforth all of the “evidence” he needs to convict both Proctors. The fact that Proctor lies about Elizabeth not lying, and then Elizabeth lying about John telling the truth proves that the truth in The Crucible is slim and hard to differentiate from fiction.…

    One of the aims of Feminist Judgments Project is to apply the theory into practice and to show that a case could be decided differently through feminist lens. There are many types of feminisms which include liberal feminism, radical feminism and cultural/ difference feminism, to name a few. Freeman has identified the common characteristics of these different types of feminisms, which include ‘a belief that society, and legal order, is patriarchal’ and that ‘it seeks to analyse the contribution of law in constructing, maintaining, reinforcing and perpetuating patriarchy and it looks at ways in which this patriarchy can be undermined and ultimately eliminated’. The main area which feminism concerns is the equality of gender and the reason why…
