Right, 1000 years ago. Today, the courts are a bit different.
Um. Yes. Technically yes. And in several different ways too. I do not necessarily want to assume what you intended to write here. Would you care to elaborate a little? I was going to open with a history of law and how certain level of distance of court from the mob's wishes is desirable for a societal reason, but I decided against it since I might be assuming what you were trying to say.

I guess my question is: what are you saying?
