Before the jurors: Brangs, Dorkhor, Alone

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.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Shamhat] We all know that Algernon, because of his very nature, doesn't like studying in the library much.
[Shamhat] Yet this morning I have seen Niiremmai tricking Algy into entering the library.
[Shamhat] Niiremmai says, "algernon walk north"
[Shamhat] Niiremmai says, "algernon walk north"
[Shamhat] Niiremmai says, "algernon walk north"
[Shamhat] Niiremmai says, "algernon walk north"
[Shamhat] Algernon is done adventuring for a while, and will be studying in the library.
[Shamhat] Then he came back and tried to do the same thing.
[Shamhat] Shrug thinks, "Niiremmai trying to take Algy again.. =\"
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Shamhat] I think he should be banished from town!
[Shamhat] To protect Algy!
[Haengemie] Thank you, Shamhat
[Shamhat] done
[Haengemie] Niiremmai, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Niiremmai] lets get this done whith the jury has two algernon lovers in it so this will not be fair
[Niiremmai] well here we go

[Niiremmai] hows that tricking
[Niiremmai] is it my fault that algernon lisions tome
[Niiremmai] is it my fault that algernon lisions to me
[Niiremmai] nope not at all
[Niiremmai] anyone else would have stayed put
[Niiremmai] and anyway books are good for his mind
[Niiremmai] so maybe he can learn not to listen to everythig someone says
[Niiremmai] and do as he hears
[Niiremmai] but I know I will be guilty because hes algernon so
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...

[Haengemie] Shamhat, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Shamhat] Well, that's silly
[Shamhat] witness: Bocephus
[Haengemie] Thank you, Shamhat
[Haengemie] Bocephus, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bocephus. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Bocephus, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Bocephus] When I arrived on the scene
[Bocephus] the defendant said...
[Bocephus] Oh here comes some more Algy lovers
[Bocephus] seems to me
[Bocephus] his intentions were malicious
[Bocephus] he implies he's an Algy hater
[Bocephus] just from that statement
[Bocephus] I saw it all
[Bocephus] It's as Shamhat says
[Bocephus] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bocephus
[Haengemie] Niiremmai, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Niiremmai] it is not a crime to hate someone
[Niiremmai] and it is not a crime to trick someone
[Niiremmai] I will not waste any more time
[Niiremmai] because I know I will be guilty
[Niiremmai] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Niiremmai
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Niiremmai this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jury, please note: one prior conviction in the past year.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Niiremmai's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Niiremmai, you are hereby sentenced to spend 80 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 333 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (333c) as additional jail-time of 43 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, Niiremmai, 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 16:37 on 67 Winter, 536
