Since It's now legal for me to say that now, I went ahead and said it.

I guess I could have said it 4 months ago.

Meanwhile, Maryland still has trial by combat. Has to be plaintiff or plaintiff's lawyer vs defendant or defendant's lawyer. In a criminal case, it's prosecutor vs either defendant or defense counsel. Back in the 80s, a lawyer friend of mine was defending a guy against a bogus assault charge. Rather than move to dismiss, he challenged the DA. Since Ed had stomped into the courtroom in his (incredibly fugly) SCA armor with a couple of oak staves and thrown a gauntlet at the DA's feet, the DA moved (hastily) to dismiss.
