Roslin and Tigh's testimony was just theater, with zero relevance to anyone's guilt.There were compelling moments in the trial, to be sure (Lee's speech, mainly), but at no point did the prosecution or the defense actually seem to be presenting a case, nor were the judges really trying one.  It was simply a plot device.</blockquote>
