Ehh, I think so far you have not provided a counter claim. To help with definitions the term parties usually means the people involved. To address your objection by your analogy, that analogy does not match the conditions of the defendants case that has been presented. Just as Creed explained, the issue here is punishment by proxy and the problem that the judgment of non affiliated parties are unjustified based on the defined reason in the appeal. If we like to address this then I raise one more appeal and counterclaim that the unbeliever is also not-guilty based on the premise that it is unjust to judge by proxy as well.
In other words, the defense holds objection over ruled.
