[Sadraz] West acted as escort
[Sadraz] Sendorian was under a spell put on him by Lilit

[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Sadraz] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sadraz
[Haengemie] Sendorian, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Sendorian] I do not understand what you are talking about.
[Sendorian] I am sorry for your loss.
[Sendorian] But i never knew West... nor Lilit... nor Lorian.
[Sendorian] I was working at my desk...
[Sendorian] found myself in the place you call Adytum.
[Sendorian] Then I came from there through the altar to here.
[Sendorian] I have never before been on the island here.
[Sendorian] It must be a case of confused identity!
[Sendorian] I beg you...
[Sendorian] I have no friends here as of yet..
[Sendorian] No one to plead my case but me.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Sendorian] But I am not the kind to murder one such as West must have been
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sendorian
[Haengemie] Sadraz, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Sadraz] Sendorian is a known deceiver
[Sadraz] I do not make these charges lightly
[Sadraz] He has been the instrument of kidnapping our citizen
[Sadraz] and killin my husband
[Sadraz] I call as witness Prue was was present at the murder
[Sadraz] witness Prue
[Sadraz] witness: Prue
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sadraz
[Haengemie] Prue, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Prue, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Prue] it is just as Sadraz said...
[Prue] I saw the whole thing
[Prue] that guy there...
[Prue] the defendant
[Prue] Prue points at Sendorian
[Prue] he threw some sort of weapon
[Prue] not a knife exactly
[Prue] anyway....
[Prue] he threw it at West
[Prue] I never actually knew West, except when Vagile was him
[Prue] anyway....
[Prue] he died, real quick...
[Prue] I suppose Sendorian used poison or something
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Prue] pretty good arm he's got
[Prue] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue
[Prue] welcome
[Haengemie] Sendorian, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelivant.
[Sendorian] Obviously a crime was committed. Because I have heard many others mention it and accuse me of it.
[Sendorian] And for Sadraz' loss I grieve as we all do.
[Sendorian] Though I never knew West, he must have been a great man.
[Sendorian] I would mourn at the loss of any such as he must have been.
[Sendorian] I have no defense other than my word.
[Sendorian] There must be some case of mistaken identity.
[Sendorian] For I know nothing of poisons...
[Sendorian] Or throwing things.
[Sendorian] I am but a clerk in the court of our Good Emperor!
[Sendorian] What am I to do in such a strange and friendless land?
[Sendorian] But I am at your mercy... it seems...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Sendorian] Under the hammer of whatever kind of mercy you wish to impose.
[Sendorian] I only pray it is justice you serve.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sendorian
