Contrary to deliberate manipulation and corruption of history, there was no "professional class" of jurists within Rome. Instead, a citizen would on occasion, if unable to speak clearly, hire an actor to speak in their place as a "persona". In such circumstances, the actor was sworn to recite the truth as told to them by the accuser or defendant on their testicles (being removed if they lied) -- hence the origin of testimony; and [8] By the 8th Century CE and the emergence of the Sacre Loi (Sacred Law) of the Carolingian Empire and the first formation of the Catholic Church and Canon Law (in direct opposition to the Holly Roman Empire of Antioch, also known as the Byzantine Empire), the concept of actors or "persona" performing in place of the actual accused or accuser was abolished and considered an abomination against Anglo-Saxon Law; and [9] Under the Instatutum, ("Institutions") of Sacré Loi (Sacred Law) first introduced by Charles Martel in 738 CE, all disputes between smaller estates known under Carolingian law as "peto sessionis" (petty sessions) were to be heard in "Placitum", while all serious property disputes and crimes carrying the death penalty called "quatio sessionis" were to be heard in "Manorum" being at the Manor Hall of the Baron to whom the accused served.; and [10] In accordance with the Sacré Loi (Sacred Law) defined by the Carolingians in the 8th Century, a Placitum was presided over by one (1) to three (3) justices of the peto (petit sessionis) known as Iustitia Petit sworn under solemn oath to uphold and protect the law. The most senior of the Iustitia Peto (Petit) was known as a Praesideo, or if only one Iustitia Peto (Petit) was hearing the matter, he was known as the Praesideo. The term "praesideo" comes from Latin meaning "a guardian, defender, director or ruler of (sacred) law" and is the origin of the word "president"; and [11] Significantly, in opposition to the original concept of "persona" by the Romans and prosopon (πρόσωπον) by the Ancient Greeks, the Ango-Saxons considered the oath or vow of a living flesh man or woman as of paramount importance being their "bond" -- bringing a return to a principle that was fundamental to Celtic Law including the fact that a man could not be convicted on testimony gained through torture -- in other words, our word must be given freely and without duress if it is to be regarded as true and reliable; and....
