Does Spain have any judges besides Garzon? You hear his name in every high profile Spanish case. He was the judge who indicted Pinochet.

It's a clue: this is your nightmare (or mine?) It's like that classic Twilight Zone episode, "Shadow Play" in which Dennis Weaver is on death row but increasingly becomes aware that he's living a dream that repeats every night. He tries to convince others that they're just characters in his nightmare. At one point he says to his lawyer something like "doesn't it seem odd to you, as an attorney, that my trial is being held at 11 at night and I'm condemned to death at midnight the same night? I just doesn't happen that way in real life."
Doesn't it seem odd to you, I hear you saying to me, that there's only one judge in all of Spain? It just doesn't happen that way in real life.
Which one of us needs to wake up? And will the real world look better or worse in the morning?
