June, 2061

The trial of Carlos Mendoza Ramírez began. His lawyer Alexa Haberia, was arguing that Mendoza Ramírez had absolute immunity.

The trial began.

"Your Honor, my client has absolute immunity and cannot be prosecuted under the law" Alexa Haberia said.

One of the Justices asked "Does that mean he could stage a coup?"

"If it was an official act"

The Justice asked another question "could he assassinate a rival?"

"Hypothetically, if he wasn't removed by a no confidence vote"

Again, "Could he embezzle money from the union"

"Yes"

The Justice asked "And where is this immunity in the treaty?"

"Ummm.."

The Justice said "Let us deliberate"

Not even an hour later the court comes back into session. The Chief Justice said "The court has ruled 9-0, that Carlos Mendoza Ramírez is guilty on all charges, he will be sentenced to 60 years in prison without parole."
