Kenyan lawyer petitions world court in The Hague to nullify Jesus' conviction:

There are probably enough Christians and Jews read this Forum for this to be of interest:
'The former spokesman for the Kenyan judiciary accuses Pontius Pilate, who was the Roman governor of the Province of Judea almost 2,000 years ago, of “judicial misconduct, abuse of office, bias and prejudice.”
That may well be the case, at least in the view of believers and many Bible scholars. However, getting a court to rule on a 2,000-year-old case from an outlying province in a long-defunct empire will not be easy. Indidis first brought his case before the Kenyan High Court in Nairobi in 2007, but the court refused to hear it, saying it lacked jurisdiction. Now he is turning to the International Court of Justice which is best known for ruling on territorial disputes between members of the United Nations.
“I filed the case because it is my duty to uphold the dignity of Jesus and I have gone to the
ICJ to seek justice for the man from Nazareth,” Indidid told 'The Nairobian' newspaper. “His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice,” he added. Indidis apparently named the states of Italy and Israel in the lawsuit because upon the attainment of independence, the two states incorporated the laws of the Roman Empire, those in force at the time of the crucifixion. He is challenging the mode of questioning used during Jesus' trial, prosecution, hearing and sentencing; the form of punishment meted out on him while undergoing judicial proceedings and the substance of the information used to convict him.Officials at The Hague would not confirm or deny that they have received a petition...'
