What will the Godfather Courtroom look like
Our court room set will be different from most others. Our three esteemed judges will be seated in enormously comfortable lounge chairs at the front of the courtroom. Each judge will be flanked by beautiful women who will message his feet, serve him beer, toss grapes into his mouth, light his cigars, feed him pizza or rub his back while he listens to the litigants as they lie. Rather then having a bailiff we'll have dark haired men in three piece suits standing around holding meat cleavers, rubber hoses and fake machine guns.
What's the audience going to be like
Unlike most courtrooms where the audience is encouraged by the bailiffs to remain orderly and quiet our audience will be encouraged to make jokes and fling insults at litigants who they feel aren't lying well enough to win their cases.
What kind of verdicts can one expect
Our esteemed judges may award money damages to the winner or they may get more creative based on the merits of the case. Justice in the underworld can be very unconventional so in keeping with that spirit our judges will dispense the kind of verdicts that would make criminals and corrupt judges everywhere proud. They may order some of our losers to launder the winners underwear for a month, date their morbidly obese sister or push a peanut down an alley with their noses?the more absurd?the better. Crime bosses can be brutal in dispensing justice and so will our judges.
Can I appeal the verdict once it's made
Not in this lifetime
