      It depends, Jim - in a civil trial, the defendant is not required to appear. In a criminal trial, he is not required to testify. Even in the case of a misdemeanor, the defendant may have his attorney appear for him.
      Either the defendent or defendents atty must appear if they want to win the case, CP. Same goes for the plaintiff. But this is not a civil case, so you're just changing the subject to save face for the silly statement you made.
      Don't believe everything you read in those talkingpoints, Jim.
      I don't, I only believe them when their true.

        Well, that's your new version after I skeweled you --- here's what you had originally said...

        Glad we cleared that up, and I'm always happy to be of assistance to you, Jim.

        Just remember, the rules are different for civil and criminal, and even vary according to jurisdiction. AND, the rules in impeachment vary even more.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Well of course, that way he can lie all he wants with no repercussions. He knows that you, his Trumpsters, won't hold it against him.

            Just remember we were not talking a civil case, so if anyone need remember that it's you CP. Your point is moot, not to mention idiotic.

              No repercussions?

              I'm seeing a pattern here, Jim --- whenever you can't actually make a solid case on something, you resort to this dishonest childish hooliganism. It's actually kinda cute.

                Trumps, and or his atty's, failure to appear shows a consciousness of guilt. Their problem is that they have no actual defence.

                  So, if it was moot, why did you argue so much against it? This the kind of thing you do when you get your clock cleaned.

                  The fact remains that a defendant is not always required to appear for trial - it depends on the type of trial and the venue.

                    I'm seeing a pattern here as well CP, you can't admit to your errors, so you deny them when they're pointed out to you and instead, like an arrogant jackass, attack those pointing them out to you.

                      If you point out an actual error, and you're correct, I'll very gladly admit I'm wrong. I've done it a number of times here on Tweb, and it's no skin off my nose.

                      so you deny them when they're pointed out to you and instead,
                      Actually, Jim, you didn't point out any errors, to my knowledge, you just went to your "go to" "it's moot / idiotic" screed.

                      like an arrogant jackass, attack those pointing them out to you.
                      Awwwwww, did I hurt your feelings, Jim?

                      What error did I commit?
                      What "attack" did I make?

                        You're not really that stupid are you, CP? Again, we are not talking about a civil trial, so if you're not really that stupid, try not to act as if you are.

                              You may have missed this earlier, Jim. I'll bold the pertinent part....

                              The term "misdemeanor", of course, indicates it's a criminal court, and happens to be the same word used in the US Constitution as one of the offenses for which impeachment can be commenced.

                              Do I Have to Appear in Court or Can My Attorney Appear for Me?

                              If you are a perpetrator of a misdemeanor, your attorney is allowed to appear in court for you. He/she may defend your rights without your presence on your behalf at all stages of your case. But, if your charge is brought for a felony you must take part in all stages including arraignment, plea, preliminary hearing, parts of a trial and sentencing at the court with your attorney.


                              So, as I said, even in a criminal case, the defendant may not be required to be present.

                                Laughing --- I saw that (malarkey) on the side of Biden's bus, and it inspired me to make up a word!

                                There's a Houston contractor who regularly uses that word...
