[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Prue] Greetings fellow exiles
[Prue] just moments ago...
[Prue] I was assaulted in town square
[Prue] by the defendant
[Prue] he lit my hair afire with a torch
[Prue] and meant to do me great harm
[Prue] I suspect it was an attack...
[Prue] based on some warped religious belief
[Prue] I beg of you
[Prue] send a message
[Prue] intolerance will not be tolerated
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Prue] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue
[Haengemie] Herac Kleis, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis closes his eyes tightly, trying to link his mind to the juror's.
[Herac Kleis] Provoke me they did. Taunt me they do!
[Herac Kleis] Cut my hair did Tere!
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis shows the jury where a clump of hair is missing.
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis glares at Tere.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...

[Herac Kleis] Bad they are! Removed from Puddleby they should be!
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis releases his mental link.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Herac Kleis
[Haengemie] Prue, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Prue] Clearly Herac is some sort of deranged fanatic.
[Prue] A zealot.
[Prue] I mean, we all certainly show tolerance for his eyesore unripe lemon rind costume....
[Prue] so why can he not let other who are different live in peace?
[Prue] Thank you.
[Prue] Give justice.
[Prue] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue
[Haengemie] Herac Kleis, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis glares at Prue for insulting his Elven cloth.
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis resets his mental link.
[Herac Kleis] Trying to sway you all they are!
[Herac Kleis] Threatening or bribing they are!
[Herac Kleis] Listen not to them! Bad they are!
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis releases his mental link.
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis holds the scar from the wound that muted him as a tear rolls down his cheek.
[Herac Kleis] done
[Herac Kleis] Herac Kleis sighs.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Herac Kleis
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.
[Haengemie] Herac Kleis this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Herac Kleis's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.
[Haengemie] Herac Kleis, you are hereby sentenced to spend 30 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 500 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (500c) as additional jail-time of 64 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
