With regard to this class of case Celsus points out that they
cannot actually occur in the courts, a fact which I
imagine is familiar to all: for the jury is empanelled
to try one accused person only, and even though
the defence and the prosecution may accuse each
other of tile crime, the first case must be tried before
the second.
