Johansen Prosecutors Appeal

Posted by michael on from the only-the-lawyers-win dept.

kmitnick writes "Jon Johansen will be back in court, tried again in an appeals court, because Hollywood knows better than the Norwegian legal system." Norway's legal system is different than the U.S.; the government can appeal a loss in a criminal case.

    Is there any particular reason you have not installed mplayer? I remember having trouble with it on RedHat so I changed to Gentoo and it worked like a charm :)

    In many states the Judges are not elected but appointed.

    At the Federal level Judges are appointed for life and are only removed by US Senate Impeachment.

    State judges may be impeached by State Senates.
