Mock Trial Preparation Steps

I'd like to run a practice trial

I'm in Hawaii, a native Hawaiian.

Criminal

I'm a national of the sovereign kingdom of Hawaii. I've been cited for driving without insurance.

I'm pleading not guilty

Start the mock trial

I am

I'm Noble Nicholas Cummings, of the lawful hawaiian government. Today I'd like to show evidence of America's unlawful claim to the one sovereign and peaceful Hawaiian Nation that was illegally occupied by American forces that lead to its unlawful annexation. Therefore backing my claim that the court lacks proper jurisdiction to prosecut me, a sovereign citizen of the kingdom of hawaii.

Well, judge, tho it's stated that this law may not be used as evidence. I must continue to present it as evidence. According to public law *-*, The Apologie Resolution, America admits to the illegal overthrow of my nation.

Please continue

I have to a limited extent and only in Hawaii.

Yes please. And in particular a case that states " Whatever may be said, hawaii is now a state. ".

What site would you suggest?

How do i save this chat? To be reviewed again?

Let's continue with my current understanding. Let it show my errors

Yes

Not currently. I intended to represent myself.

Not enough, which brings me here. I also don't know what i need.

Noted, please continue.

No. My current plan is to explain myself with the evidence i have available, that i do not know by heart. But it has been compiled through trial and error of the past generations of more than a hundred years.

Yes i have. Short, sweet, and simple. It's known knowledge to the courts and have been the grounds for defense for many years now.

I'd like to now.

Yes please

Can i ask why public law *-* isn't sufficient evidence of the wrong doing against me and my people?

Yes, but it's an admission of guilt by the American government.

No, i just ask for mercy from the court as i know no other way to continue to protest the wrong doings by the prosecution. My people are suffering and dying out. Our homes have become too expensive for our people to afford. We are being slowed removed from our indigenous lands by over pricing for American and foreign investors. Lahaina, once our nation's capital, has been burned down and many local residents were forced to move off island. We are a people that were oppressed and denied justice, causing our people to become depressed and forever damaged. What else can i do....?

Please continue with your verdict.

I have. Even possible jail time due to this being my third offense. Tho the second time was treated as a first.

If the prosecuting attorney feels that this is unacceptable. I will take a public defendant or a plea agreement.

Could this case be considered a crime of passion?

It is done in hurt and frustration of the entire situation.

Just here at the moment. Also others in the government that have been making this stand for over 20 years, since public law *-* was created.

Yes

What defense might you consider?

How can a case be built to support the illegal annexation of the Kingdom of Hawaii?

All suggestions have already been done. How could it be further continued?

Again, all of the above has actually been done. Including going to international court.

Not myself personally but our government is continuing to pursue all possible solutions.
