[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Sleipnir] Dear Jurors....
[Sleipnir] I was sitting in the Town Square....
[Sleipnir] When I was approached by Shadrock.
[Sleipnir] He cut my purse, and stole 10 coins.
[Sleipnir] That be the simple story.
[Sleipnir] I wish the money returned, and Shadrock taught the errors of his ways.
[Sleipnir] Theft be unacceptable.
[Sleipnir] witness Heracles
[Sleipnir] Hmmm..
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Sleipnir] How do I call a witness?
[Sleipnir] I am indeed a foolish knight
[Sleipnir] witness: heracles
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sleipnir
[Haengemie] Heracles, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Heracles. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Heracles, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Heracles] Sir Sleipnir and I were sitting in town conversing...
[Heracles] ...and Shadrock snuck up from behind, slitting Sir Sleipnir's money purse.
[Heracles] Shadrock continued to steal ten coins, and ran, refusing to return the money.
[Heracles] That is the simple truth. I shall not take any longer.

[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Sleipnir this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] And, because I find the friviolity of this case to be contemptuous,...
[Haengemie] I'm going to double the maximum penalty (240 min/2000 c)
[Haengemie] I suggest that the jury recommend a stiff sentence.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Sleipnir's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Sleipnir, you are hereby sentenced to spend 48 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 33 coins.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
