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

[Haengemie] Because of outstanding fines still owed from previous convictions...
[Haengemie] I'm going add 115 minutes to the sentence.
[Haengemie] John the Clown, you are hereby sentenced to spend 168 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 1028 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (1028c) as additional jail-time of 130 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, John the Clown, I'm going to banish you from the city limits for 10 days.
[Haengemie] After you've served your jail-sentence, I suggest you sneak out of town quietly, and don't let the guards catch you.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.

Court adjourned at 8:03 on 29 Winter, 535
