T.P. 114 SUI GENERIS

This Latin phrase does not mean a generous or philanthropic swine who responds to the call of: “suey” (sooie); nor does it describe a magnanimous individual who just happens to be some sort of pig (Suidae). It is, in reality, a unique classification that denotes a stand-alone category. This can describe anyone short of being a clone, and lawyers use this language to get their clients dismissed from charges brought up against them by the plaintiff, whether it be an individual or a government institution (State). By applying this tactic of removing someone from a general classification such as a Homo Sapien and putting them into a peculiar subsection, trials evolve into circuses that avoid standard outcomes for most people. An example would be a human cannibal that lives amongst the general population. His dietary preferences of digesting human meat definitely drift away from normal human omnivores. This gives cannibals a sui generis classification and must be judged under a separate set of rules. The judge and members of the jury must be cannibals themselves in order to fairly determine the innocence or guilt of the cannibal on trial. Without this, the kangaroo courts would not have a tail to stand on, and justice would not be blind as the pouch potatoes could see out the opening. In the trial of Jeffrey Dahmer, he was not judged by a panel of his peers because none of the jurors came out of the kitchen and proclaimed themselves to be cannibals. The lawyers representing their client should have filed for a mistrial and thrown the whole case out of court by claiming sui generis and not convicting him  falsely, merely by his delectible, dietary distinction. I rest my case-a- dias.
