In the matter of Bane v Haseo, accused of “Frog Killing”

Before the jurors: Noivad, Angel, Azriel, Prof Heal, Dante, Hidden

With Bellafae serving as Bailiff.
To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Bane] ...
[Bane] Phew
[Bane] Ok
[Bane] Earlier today I found a Frog hopping around in town
[Bane] And I decided to take him to Master Ma'Ta's where he would be safe
[Bane] So, in North Forest, I died and preceded to depart, the saftey of the Frog on my mind
[Bane] When I returned there was a small crowd gathered, somewhat protecting me from Ferals
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Bane] And then Haseo came and killed him
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bane
[Haengemie] Haseo, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Haseo] Sorry Bane
[Haseo] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Haseo
[Haengemie] Bane, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Bane] All of us older Exiles know that killing Frogs is a serious offense, as many deaths occur when they get revenge.
[Bane] I lost a friend, but the lives of everyone in Puddleby was at stake.
[Bane] I ask not for fines against Haseo
[Bane] If they are implemented, I will repay him
[Bane] I ask only for a small jail sentence, as a warning to other Would-Be Frog Killers
[Bane] I know Haseo is not evil, he is probably a very good exile.
[Bane] But these crimes against Frogs must not continue!
[Bane] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bane
[Haengemie] Haseo, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Haseo] oh yes......
[Haseo] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Haseo
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Bane this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Bane's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Bane, you are hereby sentenced to spend 10 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 250 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (97c) as additional jail-time of 7 minutes.

Court adjourned at 14:37 on 55 Winter, 534
