While however I think that there are occasional
cases where the statement of facts may be dispensed
with, I disagree with those who say that there is no
statement of facts when the accused simply denies the
charge. This opinion is shared by Cornelius Celsus
who holds that most cases of murder and all of
bribery and extortion fall into this class.
