To resurrect a case requires dabbling in the sinister
arts -- not often associated with justice or fairness.
I would argue that 're-deciding' a case cannot be
fairly done without actually 're-hearing' the case.
Understandably, the Arbcom would prefer to make things
easy on themselves (theyve been through a lot after
all), but --just to cheer things up --I contend that a
re-deciding an old case without re-hearing it is
improper -- putting aside the /double-jeopardy/
hung-jury/ mistrial/ precedents involved.
