[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Tarf] Sombre has already been convicted yesterday for destroying Zoo property.
[Tarf] He is banished from town for 14 days
[Tarf] While Lawn and Kahn try...
[Tarf] they are not fast enough to catch him
[Tarf] He continues to harrass the zoo
[Tarf] and harrasses the zoo for the simple point of annoying people
[Tarf] if jail is the only way to keep him out of our town, then lets put him in jail.
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Sombre, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Sombre] Your Honor. There are plenty of zoos. We don't need one in town. Doesn't anyone think Tarf is being a bit frivolous?
[Sombre] witness: Poor Impulse
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sombre
[Haengemie] Poor Impulse, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Poor Impulse. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Poor Impulse, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Poor Impulse] why are you putting animals in prison!!
[Poor Impulse] free the animals!
[Poor Impulse] free sombre!
[Poor Impulse] run, sombre, run!!!
[Poor Impulse] witness: sombre
[Haengemie] Thank you, Poor Impulse
[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Tarf] Dont try that "free the animals" stuff. If not for the zoo, all of those animals would be dead by now.
[Tarf] furthermmore, look at how he insults the jury?
[Tarf] He abuses the court with his accomplice in crime and convict, Porr Impulse
[Tarf] He is clearly a menace to Puddleby Society
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Sombre, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sombre
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Sombre this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] On Spring 105 of 539, Sombre was found guilty, being charged with defiling the sanctity of Gaia's temple.
[Haengemie] On Spring 109 of 539, Sombre was found guilty, being charged with misusing and disrupting Gaias temple _again_.
[Haengemie] On Spring 175 of 539, Sombre was found guilty, being charged with destruction of Zoo property.
[Haengemie] Due to the 4 priors in the past year,
[Haengemie] the maximum sentence is raised to 240 minutes in jail or a fine of 2000c,
[Haengemie] or, possibly, a combination of jail and fine, depending on the jury's recommendations.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Sombre's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Because of outstanding fines still owed from previous convictions...
[Haengemie] I'm going add 217 minutes to the sentence.
[Haengemie] Sombre, you are hereby sentenced to spend 251 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 1122 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (1121c)...
[Haengemie] ...as additional jail-time of 142 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, Sombre, I'm going to banish you from the city limits for 21 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 19:57 on 86 Spring, 539
