Maduro has possible legal challenges – likely long shots – we will see at some point.

1) Head of State and Official Acts Immunity – provides that the current head of a foreign state may not be tried either criminally or civilly in a US court. The question = Maduro a “current head of a foreign state”.

2) Official Acts Immunity – Maduro may claim the accused illegal acts were official conduct and those cannot be prosecuted. Will the Courts accept the executive branch’s assertion that the activities are not “official” acts. The Supreme Court has yet to resolve this and have characterized it as “thorny” question.

3) Venue – Current law states that defendants from other countries must be tried “in the district in which the offender ... is arrested or first brought”. Before arriving in New York State, there was a stop in Guantanamo Bay. Maduro could argue he was not “first brought” to SDNY, therefore the case is null.

The pits, each about 3 feet long, 2 feet wide and 6 feet deep, would have been filled by vertical stakes, sharpened to a point, waiting to impale anyone who stumbled into them. They're pretty much unqiue to the Roman presence in Scotland and highlight how threatened the Romans felt on this far northern edge of their empire.

There are a huge number of historical sites within easy striking distance of Glasgow, ranging from neolithic tombs to the site of the last siege of a castle in Britain (Stirling Castle in 1746). However, these are amongst my favourites. They're lilia, which are packs of large defensive pits dug by the Romans in front of Rough Castle Fort on the Antonine Wall around AD 140.

And, in conclusion regarding #snakes in #thesis #defences

In knowledge's power and endless scope
To conquer fear, like a valiant knight
And with each snake, we uncover hope
That leads us forward in life's sight.

Now go forth and seek your truth
With courage as your guiding light
For snakes at thesis defences are but
Symbols of the wisdom yet to come to sight

... well worth several hours of cpu using 4GB of memory, I'm sure you all agree.

Unlikely that anyone cares, but here is the next couple of verses regarding #snakes in #thesis #defences

Through trials and tribulations, we learn
To embrace our fears and doubts
And with each step, we unearth
The wisdom hidden beneath its mounds.

So if you find yourself in that place
Where snakes dwell amidst the dust
Remember to face them head on
For they are but symbols of our trust
