"Both defense & prosecution have time limits on arguments."

LOL! You missed the OJ trial, I assume.

Of course in actuality there are no such thing as time limits in trials. Not on this planet. Maybe where you come from.

There are relevancy limits, however. Demanding proof that the law exists is irrelevant.

If the law didn't exist, there wouldn't have been grounds for an indictment and the case wouldn't have been brought to trial.

Is it still going on? If not, it stands to reason there were time limits.

The judge sets such limits, subject to review.

Maybe where you come from. -- We have a US Constitution to honor, and it is relevant to argue that point before the jury, within time limits.

If the law didn't exist, there wouldn't have been grounds for an indictment and the case wouldn't have been brought to trial.

So you claim. I claim the right to present my case before an informed & impartial jury, as per the 6/7th amendments..

Why do you oppose this freedom?
