My dream come true!!! I love the way the ladies are just removing their clothes, knowing that they are going to the cross.
This is the first time I've ever had the pleasure of seeing it. I have to agree!!! It really is a dream come true for me.
I don't know Barb .... anything that would put me in the center of the park for at least 3 hours. You make the call and pass sentence.
I'm like that but since she asked nicely I am going to get her one... of course that means she has to be crucified. What crime could sweet Mails have committed to deserve such a thing? Remember I don't need evidence... just serious charges...
Yes! What a wonderful, exciting picture! First time for me to see it. I've often fantasized about being crucified as a punishment for some misdeed and not as an execution. Like you wrote, Barb, the women just have to serve their time. Hey, no big deal. What's a few hours on a cross on a fine summer's day. Just show up early and get it over with.
I've often walked through my town square wondering about an area set aside for crucifixions like this.
But what happens if you don't show up as required? I imagine the punishment can get far worse!
What if someone runs off with your clothes while you hang? Kind of awkward getting home after!
In the picture, I love the depiction of the woman on the far left, She appears to have reported on time and stripped as directed, but is waiting to be placed on her cross. Oh, she looks so humiliated and nervous! Maybe she has to pee? Too late now! If you leave to go piss you'll be a "no-show" when the crux team comes looking for you. Maybe they'll double your punishment, at least. Or worse, maybe you'll be a fugitive from justice! Yikes!
Tree is right. The crime with which you are charged is immaterial. In Judge Admi's court, everyone gets at least the minimum three hours no matter what. There is no history of anyone ever being acquitted.
Good writing, Marcella, unfortunately, you were both found guilty by suspicion.
And even if you are acquitted you still took up the court's time. I'm sure Judge Admi or Judge Tree would rather be off fishing (or screwing interns) than presiding over a trial that did not result in a conviction. Someone has to pay for taking up the court's time!
A scene in Judge Tree's court:
"Marcella and Tricia, this court cannot find you two girls guilty of the charges brought against you. Although you received your day in court, this trial has taken up the better part of beautiful day that I could have spent fishing. And, though innocent of the charges in this matter, the fact that you two were initially arrested based on reasonable evidence makes this court suspect that you may have -- indeed, almost certainly have -- been guilty of some activity in the past that would warrant your crucifixions. Therefore, in accordance with the wide range of discretion I have in maintaining public order, I direct you two to report to the Parks Department no later than 9:00 AM tomorrow morning, whereupon you will be subjected to public, naked, non-lethal crucifixion for a period of three hours. Bailiff, take them away!"
"But your honor, you can't do that! We're not guilty. You just said it!"
"What was that miss? Let's see, you're Marcella, right? Are you questioning my jurisprudence? Telling me what I can and cannot do in my own court? Careful girl, I can have you whipped, too, or worse."
"I understand that, your honor, but with all due respect, I just don't understand why . . ."
Tricia, speaking aside, nervously: "Shut the fuck up Marcella! Don't make this worse than it is!"
"You're right, my dear. You obviously do not understand. Women have such a poor understanding of legal matters. So to improve your understanding of the legal system in this county I'm ordering you and your friend here to be given a dozen lashes each and six hours of crucifixion! Does this improve your understanding of how the law works?"
"No, your honor, it doesn't. I mean, why are we to be punished for being innocent?"
"Innocence, my dear girl, is no excuse! Now, you seem reasonably intelligent -- for a woman. Surely you understand that. You and your friend became a part of the criminal justice system when you were arrested. That you were found innocent is indisputable but it is utterly immaterial for adjudication purposes. There was a crime committed. You two were charged. You're in a courtroom. There was a trial. I am the judge. Someone must be found guilty. Obviously it must be the two of you. Who else? Law and order must prevail. No crime can be allowed to go unpunished. Do you not see the wisdom in that?"
"No, I do not! It's just not right, it's . . . "
"Do not show your contempt for the law in my court, girl! Your ignorance will not set aside my sentencing."
"But, but, this is all illogical, crazy . . ."
"Are you trying for twenty-four lashes and twelve hours of crucifixion, or should I just order you two cunts to be nailed to crosses and left to die? What's your pleasure miss? Hmmm?"
"Your honor! Really! I don't like being called a . . . ."
Tricia shouts, "No problems your honor. We'll take the twelve and six!"
("Shut up Marcella! Let's just get this over with!)
"Next case!"
"A Miss Barbara Moore, your honor. Charged with . . . "
"Bah! I know this one! She's been here before. Long legs, great tits, superior tumescence. The charges aren't important. Crucify her!"
Damn! I was so hoping the judges would decide to go off fishing (or screwing interns) before my case came up. Now I am in deep shit along with Marcella and Tricia
some more with tituli... not all of them properly attached yet...
Hurling obscenities at you for mangling my name!?!
That happens a lot I guess. They know about it. I've heard, once we've done our time on the cross, the corrections officers will gladly hand the titulus over to us... as a reminder. So we'd still have that to wear.What if someone runs off with your clothes while you hang? Kind of awkward getting home after!
I wonder if they ever do that, those judges who fill up the Hill of a Hundred Crosses...or are they completely beyond caring about all those individuals and their stories...
blame my arthritic right finger for getting the name wrong... I will remember this when you are tried!!!Like so many here, that's one drawing I've spent quite some time looking at!

Maybe you could call it a kind of, um, statement jewelry
Additionally, the fine print (you did read that didn't you?) says all public transport etc. are instructed to accept the titulus of a crucifixa as a valid ticket for any ride within the city area, if it's officially stamped 'sentence served' with the date of that day. So that's our ticket home! Naked subway ride.
I wonder if they ever do that, those judges who fill up the Hill of a Hundred Crosses...or are they completely beyond caring about all those individuals and their stories...
Is that supposed to be some badly veiled threat? I spit on this travesty of justice!
Uuuuh...
