[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Noah] While I was in town
[Noah] Malkor challenge Blak to a duel
[Noah] in the arena.
[Noah] I decided to follow along
[Noah] Malkor then sunstoned me on the way there...
[Noah] 7/28/00 9:40:16p Malkor thinks to you, "30c if you kill him"
[Noah] I decided since it was the arena, it would be okay.
[Noah] I have nothing against blak, he is in fact a friend of mine
[Noah] We went to the arena
[Noah] and I killed Blak him according to plan
[Noah] Malkor handed me _1_ coin
[Noah] and ran off
[Noah] Not only was I then responsible for bringing blak back
[Noah] But I did not receive the money
[Noah] Malkor is a cheat
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Noah] he must learn his lesson
[Noah] witness: Blak
[Haengemie] Thank you, Noah
[Haengemie] Blak, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Blak. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Blak, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Blak] hi
[Blak] Hi
[Blak] Malkor Challenged me to a duel
[Blak] and I accepted, cause I know I'm better
[Blak] Noah follows along
[Blak] I get there and I'm beating the crap out of Malkor
[Blak] when all of a sudden Noah comes up and kills me
[Blak] Malkor runs away
[Blak] Noah then explained Malkor bribed him
[Blak] Malkor doesn't deserve to be a mystic
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Blak] no mystic would need help from a fighter
[Blak] I rest my case
[Haengemie] Thank you, Blak
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Malkor] Malkor chuckles quietly to himself.
[Malkor] No one has been killed. As you can see, Blak is not dead.
[Malkor] Yeah, I stiffed a hitman.
[Malkor] … but wouldn't you rather punish the admitted assasin?
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Malkor] Malkor sighs.
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
[Haengemie] Noah, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Noah] Notice how Malkor is completely avoiding the case at hand.
[Noah] He leaves out the part of not paying me
[Noah] He also said
[Noah] that he wouldn't give the money upfront
[Noah] because he thought that _I_ would betray him
[Noah] yes thats right, that I would.
[Noah] Malkor should not be allowed out of this court room...
[Noah] without a punishment
[Noah] that he full deserves.
[Noah] that he fully deserves.
[Noah] He lied. He cheated me.
[Noah] Now...
[Noah] Jurors...
[Noah] Do you want him to be able to keep doing this?
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Noah] I have full confidence that he will continue this
[Noah] if not punished!
[Noah] Thank you very much.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Noah
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Malkor] This case is silly.
[Malkor] He's complaining I didn't pay him for commiting a crime.
[Malkor] If you find me guilty, you're sending the message: Killing a good friend for coins is okay, but outfoxing an assasin isn't.
[Malkor] He admits that he wouldn't have done it if I had paid him before hand!
[Malkor] I'm the lesser of two evils, really.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
