Man drags Italy, Israel to court over death of Jesus, uses Bible as evidence

A Kenyan lawyer, Dola Indidis has sued Republic of Italy and State of Israel over the execution of Jesus Christ, the Christian Messiah, and also petitioned the International Criminal Court to have Jesus’ conviction and death sentence quashed

Penpushing reports that, the petitioner had earlier been denied the suit filed at the High Court of Nairobi which was thrown out in 2007, and now resolved to approach the Netherlands-based court, which usually hears matters of international law.

The former spokesman of the Kenyan Judiciary, who is using Bible to back up the suit as evidence  hopes to have Jesus’ conviction quashed, as he  challenges the mode of questioning used during Jesus’ trial; the punishments meted out to Him while proceedings were still underway; and the substance of the information used to convict him.

‘His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice’, the Kenyan lawyer posited, while record has it that, few apparent miscarriages of justice have reverberated as far and as long as the conviction and crucifiction of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago.

Penpushing further reports that, Indidis  hopes to rely on the precedent set in the case of Joan of Ark, the peasant girl who proclaimed herself a warrior sent by God to deliver France from the English, whose trial and conviction was later found unsound

The plaintiff, posited that, Jesus charge  before the Roman courts were a nullity in law arguing that they did not conform to the rule of law at the material time and any time thereafter., adding that, ‘some of those present spat in his face, struck him with their fists, slapped him, taunted him, and pronounced him worthy of death,’ .

‘This is the same case with Jesus. The judge who sentenced him said that he had no jurisdiction to attend to the matter but he went ahead to convict and pass a capital sentence under duress,’ he said.

Penpushing also reports that, New Testament has it that, Jesus Christ ran into trouble after performing miracles and claiming he was the son of God, prompting Jewish authorities to arrest him on charges of blasphemy.

The Bible has it also that he(Jesus) was taken to Pontius Pilate, then the Roman Governor of Judea, who told them he did not have jurisdiction to hear the case and sent him to King Herod, who sent him back to Pilate.

Penpushing reports that, the then Roman Governor of Judea found Jesus not guilty of any charges but, after crowds of angry Jews called for Him to be executed, Pointus Pilate gave succumbed to pressure and had him crucified alongside two criminals.

The plaintiff, posited that, Jesus charge  before the Roman courts were a nullity in law arguing that they did not conform to the rule of law at the material time and any time thereafter., adding that, ‘some of those present spat in his face, struck him with their fists, slapped him, taunted him, and pronounced him worthy of death,’ .

Meanwhile, a Professor of law at Columbia Law School, Anthea Roberts gave indications that the suit might not see the light of the day, explaining that ‘the International Court of Justice only has jurisdiction to hear claims that are brought by one state against another state.
