abstract
  • Grice was a distinguished and charismatic Senior Judge in Mega-City One. During Necropolis in 2112, he had been one of the thousands brainwashed into serving the Dark Judges. In a meeting of Senior Judges after the crisis, he and his colleagues were left unimpressed with the mental state of the returning Chief Judge McGruder and he made disparaging comments about her during her talk. When he was called out, he cheerfully mocked her in front of everyone - only to get startled and upset when she accused him of being brainwashed due to cowardice. He went on to advocate a tightening of judicial control in the face of public outrage at the Justice Department's failures during Necropolis. At this point in time, he was still sane enough to go against a colleague's demand for more executions and less prisoners. However, Judge Dredd persuaded McGruder to permit the citizens to vote in a referendum about whether the Judges should continue to rule the city or if democratic government should be restored. Grice was left outraged and argued against it: when he pointed out Dredd was "outvoted", Dredd snapped back "you don't believe in voting, Grice" and forced his view on the rest of the judges. This controversial scheme was unpopular with many judges, and Grice assumed that the result was a foregone conclusion: the people would vote to remove the Judges from power. Firmly believing that this would result in total chaos, Grice formed a conspiracy with half a dozen other Judges to prevent the referendum from happening. They planned to assassinate Dredd, reasoning that since he was almost the only judge who believed that the Judges could win the vote, then without him all support for the referendum would disappear and McGruder would cancel the project. Dredd survived the attempts on his life, personally killing two of the conspirators and quickly rounding up the others. In a rare lapse of regard for the law, Dredd actually assaulted Grice after taking him into his custody, since he believed that the people would vote to keep the Judges in office because of their reputation for integrity, but that once the people heard about Grice's crime that myth would be dispelled and the Judges would consequently lose the vote. Grice attempted to defend himself but was defeated, a humiliation he would never forget.
