Robert Holmes

Robert Eric Holmes (April 10, 2008 - July 11, 2022) was a Robloxian lawyer and jurist who served as the 2nd Chief Justice of the Robloxian Republic Supreme Court from February 16, 2013 to June 9, 2022. A wealthy man, he was born to rich parents who served in the Robloxian Confederate Army who had been rich after stealing Gerquoi currency.
== Early Life ==
Robert Eric Holmes was born on April 10, 2008 to mother Justice Holmes (2007-2017) and father Eric Holmes (2007-2011) in the city of Nipole, Zech. Robert did not believe in what his parent's believed, and refused to harm or disrespect natives in any way his parents did so. He became a lawyer in 2011, and served as a lawyer for 2 years. He was also on the jury for the murder of Emile Anderson case in 2012, and voted guilty.
== Nomination to the Supreme Court ==
On February 5, 2013, Holmes was nominated to the Supreme Court after the death of Chief Justice Oliver Taylor (2007-2013) by Taylor Esther. Holmes was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 7-0 on February 10 and sworn in on February 16th, 2013. He had held the position for nearly 9 years, way longer than Chief Justice Taylor who only held the position for 6 years.
== Supreme Court (2013 - 2022) ==
Chief Justice Holmes would rather stay out of political conflict, but did overrule the challenge of a native voting rights law which had been active since 2008. He ruled that it was in violation of human rights, therefore leaving the bill active. The bill was being challenged by minister Jamie Waiters.
He retired on June 9, 2022 saying he wanted to finish his bucket list as his time is almost over.
== Death ==
Holmes died on July 11, 2022 at 5:37pm in his deathbed. Holmes died after his ribcage shattered, succumbing to Bone Furtona and leaving him unfunctional. After 3 minutes of pain, he died. He had been suffering from Bone Furtona for 1 and a half months before his death. He was the longest serving Chief Justice, serving for 9 years.
