I Am Sure We Have All Heard Of Strange Laws,

that for one reason or another have never been repealed,


like the one Richard Luthmann is trying to use, He pointed out that the right to Trial by Combat was technically never outlawed in the state of New York, or anywhere else in America. 'the common law of Britain was in effect in New York in 1776,' he told reporters', and the Ninth Amendment of the Constitution recognises the penumbra of those rights, it’s still on the books', historically, trial by combat was indeed a little-used but accepted aspect of English common law, in his brief, Luthmann ­'demands his common-law right to Trial By Combat,' and after cataloguing eight pages’ worth of legal precedent, 'respectfully requests that the Court permit the Undersigned to dispatch Plaintiffs and their counsel to the Divine Providence of the Maker', or, to just have the case ­dismissed, to have a look at the case click on this link, I have not read up on the terms of Wager of Battle as it was known in England but the last record I can find of it is in A New Miscellany-at-law, by Robert Megarry, where it appears the last certain trial by battle in England occurred in 1446: a servant accused his master of treason, and the master drank too much wine before the battle and was slain by the servant, just a thought, would this Trial by Combat be to the death as he ask for the 'Divine Providence of the Maker' or would just a limb or two hacked off suffice?
