[Tarf] clearly he cant hold his liqour
[Tarf] and due to his negligence, all of town suffered.
[Tarf] now you all get drunk, right?
[Tarf] do YOU go spilling kegs when YOU are drunk?

[Bigfat's] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bigfat's
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Bigfat's this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Bigfat's's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Bigfat's, you are hereby sentenced to spend 60 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 55 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (45c) as additional jail-time of 7 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
