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

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Savior] Jurors, what act is more criminal then entering into a business transaction not in good faith?
[Savior] Hulk agreed to sell his axe for an agreed amount.
[Savior] Syndreal deceived Hulk, and agreed to do the transaction "without tax", something we have all done.
[Savior] After handing over a portion of payment, Hulk sold the axe.
[Savior] Syndrael did not hand over the balance.
[Savior] He admited quit openly in town that he had no intention of doing this.
[Savior] He admited quite openly in town that he had no intention of doing this.
[Savior] He wanted to default Hulk for revenge.
[Savior] I quote Synd: "Never do business with someone who holds a grudge, Hulk."
[Savior] Witness: Hulk
[Haengemie] Thank you, Savior
[Haengemie] Hulk, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Syndrael, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Syndrael] ..
[Syndrael] oh, I'm talking
[Syndrael] sorry I showed up late to the trial, all.
[Syndrael] but I had an axe to sell
[Syndrael] they're going for dirt cheap nowadays
[Syndrael] anyways, this courtroom isn't about laws and rules, it's about right and wrong
[Syndrael] hulk chained me up and dragged me to the 'noids for "being a damn newB"
[Syndrael] I thought this was a great opportunity to haggle with him to the poorhouse
[Syndrael] he deserved what he got.
[Syndrael] Syndrael shrugs.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Syndrael] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Syndrael
[Haengemie] Savior, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Savior] Hulk may not be a popular person, but Syndraels action is a criminal one...
[Savior] Synd should have taken recourse in the court, not by seeking revenge.
[Savior] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Savior
[Haengemie] Syndrael, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Syndrael] What jail cell can offer the humiliation I was afforded in the 'noid cavern?
[Syndrael] What punishment other than death can truly right the wrong he has done to me?
[Syndrael] I am happy I was able to cause him a small bit of embarrassment...
[Syndrael] I hope you share my views...
[Syndrael] in that bad people shouldn't get breaks with things like justice...
[Syndrael] Syndrael sighs
[Syndrael] oh, and if anyone wants an axe for 500 coins.
[Syndrael] talk to me after the trial
[Syndrael] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Syndrael
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Savior this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] And, because I find the friviolity of this case to be contemptuous,...
[Haengemie] I'm going to double the maximum penalty (240 min/2000 c)
[Haengemie] I suggest that the jury recommend a stiff sentence.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Savior's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Savior, you are hereby sentenced to spend 66 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 250 coins.

Court adjourned at 17:52 on 76 Spring, 534
