Congrats, the site is back.
Something for our specialists, hope it is of interest:

I found this here between some files I downloaded (felt) ages ago.

Druglord claims UC-narc


Today the trial against the 'skinny sultan' – alleged head of the drug-cartel that calls itself 'the bud spankers' – ended with a furious twist neither judge nor prosecutor expected.

The silly name might seem funny, but on the contrary the charges include not only drug trafficking but also extortion, battery, and even several murders. In case of a conviction the 'sultan' will not be released from prison alive.

This was the first time the accused was brought to court in an orange jumpsuit – because that had to be manufactured especially for him. No less than six bulletproof vests were taped to his enormous chest and belly. Overruling the objection of the defense he got no time to change in his oversized suit due to the 'excessive time' he needed to change the court-days before.

According to some of his smirking henchmen he is called skinny because there is 'so much skin'. Naming and playing with words should – in my opinion – considered as aggravating factors in the trial.

After the expected nagging of the defense was cut short by the judge the prosecutor called their most important witness. A federal agent that had used the new slavery laws for a deep undercover mission.

The whole court room was listening attentively as she gave testimony.
To infiltrate the syndicate she was 'delivered' to a small drug dealer against whom the DEA had enough evidence to enforce cooperation. His whole stock of drugs had been confiscated, leaving him in quite a debt to the cartel.
The officer just stripped down and donned her slave collar, and waited naked on her knees for the goons of the cartel to arrive. As expected the dealer got a beating, and finally handed over his 'newly acquired slave girl' as compensation for the losses he caused.

The mobsters laughingly took the little naked slave girl into their possession, and after some rough manhandling and exploring with their fingers thought it might be in their best interest to deliver her untainted to their boss.
As she recalled how she was thrown onto her knees in front of the sultan-blob residing in his extra-large chair her statement got spicy.

She did not only give testimony of the whole lot of criminal activities she could hear first hand, kneeling naked near the villain holding the leash to her collar in his plump fingers. She also described the degrading acts she had to perform as a slave. Giving head to the 'tiny little prick' of her new master, getting fucked in front of him. How she hated to get anally violated by various mobsters while her owner watched, knowing very well how much she hated it.
The constant punishments for every single infraction, mostly spanked over the knee with bare hands by some of his goons. As her 'master' was way too fat to put her over his knees. He used 'the stick' to punish her. He had no good aim, but compensated that with a surprising amount of strength and sheer mass of strikes. She turned pale as she had to identify the evidence – a stick as thick as my thumb and as long as my leg.

She fidgeted in her seat, then she put herself together and continued: How she had to massage her master for hours, lick his least precious spots. Clean his crevices and wrinkles. She had to cream lotion between the never ending fat flaps, and at two occasions she accidentally hurt him. In pure anger he did not even use the stick but punished her with a series of face slaps that did not only hurt, but also felt incredibly degrading.
What felt worst for her was to be ordered to 'fuck herself with the tiny tool he offered while he lay motionless on the bed like a heavy breathing, sometimes grunting, fat whale.' Have to look longingly in his eyes while repeating how much she loved him, his greatness and his glorious fucks.

She was only a slave for a couple of days, hence she told her story for over an hour - without being interrupted a single time by the defense. Not a single objection was uttered, and I heard someone behind me say that they will soon find some lawyer floating face-down in a river or sea. There was no need to allow her to explain in detail what was absolutely legal to do to a slave – it would only influence the jury in a really bad way.

When she finally ended, the defending lawyer just asked her a handful of questions:
“Do you believe in god?” - “I don't know what this has to do with... “ -
“Please, just answer the question. Do you believe in god and life after death?” - “No, I am an atheist.”
“But you still honor your oath to state the truth and the whole truth” - “Of course.”
“So, have you been forced to slavery” - “No, I pretended to be already enslaved”
“Did you resist any orders” - “No, I did not want to get punished”
“Did you explain you were no slave” - “Course not, I was undercover”
and finally “What were your last words to the defendant” - at that point she smiled:
“I remember that very good. 'Now your little slave girl got you by your pitiful balls. I will throw your mammoth-fat ass and your impotent weeny wiener behind bars until the end of time!”

And then he dropped the bomb.
“Your honor, I fear we cannot take her statement into account for this trial. First of all we need to clarify the status of the witness.” From that moment on I did no longer write down what was said, so please be generous, as I cannot give you all words as they were spoken, but I can tell you what I remember was said.
While I listened in awe I watched the defendant. Sitting on the defendants bench, which, in this case, was not an armchair but two benches lined up one after the other. They were covered with thick, soft mats to ensure the 'sultans' butt was not developing sores from the long sitting. He seemed to sit on a throne behind his lawyers, like a godfather. His hair was greasy, his skin oily, and the uncovered parts of his blob-like body were covered by tattoos. You could only guess that his lips were smiling - I think the whole time the witness spoke he was smiling. But now his smile grew larger, and I could see gold shimmering – a grotesque golden-teethed grin, and as he opened his mouth to sleazily lick over his lips it became clear that he opted for a sharpened, shark like denture.

His lawyer meanwhile explained that - according to her own statement - the witness actually was – no, he said IS - legally enslaved to his client.
She was free, and as a free citizen she stripped herself naked, and placed a slave collar around her neck. She waited for the employees of the defendant, with full intention of getting delivered as a slave, kneeling to his feet. She was treated like a slave, never insisted she was actually free, and out of her own free will she always acted like a slave. So, according to the law, she actually enslaved herself willingly to the defendant.
She even declared herself as his 'little slave girl' when he was arrested and could punish her no longer.
In the DEA-documents the defense council was able to take note of a short discussion between a state attorney, her supervising agent and herself that it would be best to actually enslave her before placing her to be picked up - but she was not willing to be enslaved to a 'department full of needy colleagues that would rub that under her nose forever'. So the defending lawyer concluded that she explicitly wanted to be enslaved only by the defendant.
Of course it was possible that she enslaved herself for a limited time only, maybe with the intention that her slavery ended with the arrest of her master. But the usual regulation is that without a proper declaration of duration in the moment of the enslavement the servitude persists without a predefined end.

Meanwhile the face color of the witness switched between different shades of white and red. She just sat there flabbergasted, and as the defense pulled out several papers and brought them before the judge she looked like she was only slightly away from a heart attack.

The defense filed several motions.
First of all they applied for a trial in one of the new slavery courts. Their client – this time as the plaintiff – against the witness, their roles reversed. The defense was pretty sure that the court would confirm the willing enslavement of her.
Up to now her name, DOB and social security number is kept secret to ensure her safety – but if the slavery-court ruled in favor of the 'sultan' – as the defense expected - she would of course be registered as his slave – including all necessary processing.
After that it would be necessary to clarify if a slave should be allowed to testify against her owner. That would improperly limit the use of a slave – if you always need to be careful what to do or say in front of your slave. And as the slave is the property of the defendant, it is questionable if it would not violate his right to not incriminate himself.
This would take another trial.

At the moment it was further necessary to decide what to do with the alleged slave girl. The defense advocated to exert 'In dubio pro servitute'. As it was unthinkable that a slave girl, willing to perform all the degrading acts as described by the witness, would stain the honorable badge of a police officer or – beware - a federal agent.
Further it would continue to lead to significant legal problems if a slave girl makes an arrests – an unfree, owned slave taking the freedom of a real citizen away.
Better treat a free woman as a slave, as to risk a slave-girl pretending to be a police officer.
It might seem unacceptable for another free woman, but the witness had already described in great detail that she was more than fit for just a couple more days in slavery.
She should be seized immediately, and of course should no longer be allowed to wear the uniform of an honorable officer.

Next the defense produced a petition that turned the face of the witness green.
If we follow the law, play safe and exert 'In dubio pro servitute' we will treat the witness as enslaved. Her owner is without question the defendant. We hereby file a 'Habeas corpus servam'. Here is the register of the confiscated belongings of the defendant. The slave girl is nowhere mentioned. And with her statement in this court her value as evidence, might it be a valid or invalid statement, ends. There is no reason to confiscate her now.
According to her own statement she willingly enslaved herself to the defendant. Our client came into possession of her without any committed crime. There is no legal reason to withhold her from her legal owner.
She might have had ulterior motives at the time of her enslavement – for example throw her owner into prison – but that is a decision a court has to make. She could only decide to enslave herself – and so she did.

As our client is currently in pretrial detention without bail we expect the slave to be sent as soon as possible to the family of our client, who currently guard his property.
As the court can obviously see our client is heavily handicapped and suffers an extreme form of obesity. We recommend to sent the slave girl as an item of medical necessity to accompany our client in his cell, to ensure a human treatment of our client. We need to remind ourselves that he is at the moment not convicted of any crime – so he is still a free citizen with full rights, only in detention. Against that the witness is to be treated as a slave, and therefore can be sent into prison to serve her master – ensure his well-being to endure multiple tedious trials, if necessary we will even pay for her accommodation.
And of course it would relieve the burden on the shoulders of the correctional officers that are currently taking custody of our client, no pun intended.
It is even in accordance with her former wishes to serve especially him.

-A grunt from his client made the lawyer turn, and following the gesture of the fat man he added-

Our client would also be very grateful if he could get his stick back. As mentioned, because of his medical condition he is unable to discipline a slave bend over his knee – so this stick is for him as slave owner like a walking aid for a disabled person.

-A panicked yelp from the witness stand produced another wide golden grin.-

Finally it would be irresponsible not to file another motion:
As the statement of the witness is questionable and the rest of the evidence is not as secure as the prosecutor claims... We would ask the honorable court again to consider setting a bail.
Our client is unable to run away, as everyone can easily see – and even with the help of a slave girl his incarceration is unreasonably harsh. Please make a human decision. There are so many other ways, just put our client in home confinement. The prisons are not equipped for someone with such severe symptoms of an incurable disease that not only massively restricts his quality of life but also significantly shortens his lifespan.



After that the court adjourned – the defense steamrolled through everything that was expected from that day. The witness was handcuffed and led out of the court, arrested – or confiscated – whatever the court would decide.

I was lucky to know one of the defense lawyers, and we had a little talk.
I mentioned that I heard someone say during the testimony that soon one of them would be found dead in a river – and now it seems like they found a way into future slavery-law-books, with a whole bunch of fundamental judgments.
He laughed. He said that they had a pretty brilliant team in the background. But their main goal was to gain time. Their client could face the death penalty, and every day they postponed a verdict was a won day. If they won every case their client could leave the trial as a free man – but most important is to gain time and bail him out. The slave girl is just a bonus.
He explained that there was not much expertise with the new slavery laws – so the jurisdiction partially relied on old roman laws – something they used in this case.
And then he laughed.
We will even try some ancient Egypt laws.
There is a case of a lifetime slave that was clinically dead for 2 minutes, to be brought back to life after that. A court decided that it still was a slave, a safe bet – no way a court would let you out of a life in chains that easy. And it is pretty different to what we will try, but the catch lies in the written reason for judgment. They avoided any metaphysical discussion when life ends – they just invoked the recently amended law for time-limited slavery. The law only states that you can agree to a limited duration – or not. Until that is clarified slavery with no specified duration is endless.
As our client believes in life after death, and especially eternal servitude, he prepared himself for his life after. In Egypt the pharaoh took his slaves with him in the pyramid, to serve him in his afterlife.
We will try to do that, too.
Of course it would be illegal to kill her as soon as her owner dies, but we can insist that she will be buried as our client specified, kneeling mummified in a sarcophagus to his feet, ready to follow him or if she dies first awaiting him in afterlife to serve him forever.
I know it is weird, but our client loved the idea, and – every day is a win. Sooner or later we will get him out with a bail, his poor health condition works in our favor.
We will bring that case to trial even if she is confirmed as a free person – our client already prepared a sarcophagus for her, relying on her eternal service. That was the real reason for our question if she believes in god. She does not, so we already weakened her position – it is very important for the religious belief of our client, and she does not care. We expect at least a compensation from the department for the feigning of her slavery, and she actually was his slave at least for some days, we will try to derive a claim out of that.


Saying that the court returned and we went back to our seats.
It was a short, but for the prosecution smashing decision that was proclaimed. The uc-cop was still chained in the back and nearly fainted as it was read.

The former witness would be confiscated and her case delegated to a slave court. Her status would be clarified by one of the newly specialized slave judges.
She would be housed by the state (in the same jail as the 'sultan', just fyi), and NOT handed over to the defendant.
The slave courts are new and quick, the holding time would be short, so it was considered acceptable to withhold the property of the 'sultan' for some more days – until the slave court made a decision. Neither would they consider a bail until that happened.
This trial would be delayed until there was a decision if the agents/slaves testimony could be taken into consideration or not.


So: Her fate will be sealed in a slave trial! And I will be there, subscribe if you do not want to miss it.
I am dying in eager anticipation: Will she be a slave forever? Will the drug-lord escape his just punishment?
And, of course, how will the presumed slave-girl enter slave court? Will she arrive in her police uniform, and may be stripped of her badge, uniform and everything else - live - in court if she is confirmed as a slave?
Or will she be led in in the appropriate slave attire, naked and collared, kneeling in front of the court, ready to grovel at the feet of her betters until the end of time?

Don't forget to click the bell, and you sincerely find out!






I have found nothing more to this case, maybe it is just fictional? Or it got buried and hidden because the results were embarrassing? There are no names, no locations, just that story from the beginning of slavery. I have no clue how to find out what happened after that trial, if it was a real trial.
Someone heard something, or knows something? It should have caused a big stir when it happened, maybe someone remembers? Or is there someone to say that this could have never happened because it is legal bullshit? So, I am also dying in eager anticipation.....

Couple of points:
1. There is no slave owner/slave communication privilege. The slave is not a spouse, a lawyer or a priest. As such, the slave can be compelled to provide testimony, just like any family member who is a fact witness could. Now, there is precedent for reducing the evidentiary value of a slave’s testimony historically, but the State would be allowed to admit other evidence to bolster her credibility.
2. If the UC enslaved herself, it arguably occurred when she stripped and put on a collar at the first dealer’s house. The transfer to the next holder was never reported, registered and I am sure the applicable transfer taxes were not paid. As such, the dealer she was testifying against was not her lawful owner. The slave court would have thrown the request for custody from a non-owner out quickly … and order her return to the first dealer (who presumably would give custody of her back to law enforcement as part of his deal). If she enslaved herself only with the big man, I doubt he and his crew registered it appropriately. Last, if the big man also did not hold a slave handler license, his possession of the slave would be unlawful (if not a separate crime). (Then again, it is also a crime for a free woman to pose as a slave in public.)

There is precedent for point 1. The romans (where our legal systems originate and what this story relies on) did not permit slaves to testify against their masters. Slaves were expected to be loyal to their masters. The exception was in cases of treason and in those cases the testimony was only admissable after torture. Thus the slaves disloyalty towards the master could be excused due to the torture

If a police officer impersonates another person, "undercover work," it's permitted. They can dress like a biker, have tattoos, and so on. The question is, does this constitute slavery?

[cardman314]

Ever since Christopher Columbus Langdell introduced the concept of legal formalism (positivism), judges have been legislating from the bench. Outcomes in court are not necessarily based on what is just but what is expedient and serves the agenda of those in power.

If enough money or influence is peddled, I'd say this story can take any turn the author can imagine. Trying to hold the author to an imaginary legal construct is pointless when the whole system is itself so easily corrupted.

Sissy, I liked the story twist as it was. Ignore the critics and keeping producing content.

[Greyman]

Indeed. The premise is that there were vague new slave laws. The defence's bullshit legal theory doesn't break suspension of disbelief.
