[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Largo] I'm here today to bring charges of terrible jokery against the villain Pun'isher.
[Largo] I say "jokes," because I'm sure that's how she means them to be perceived.
[Largo] I say "terrible" because they are. Horrendous. We all know it.
[Largo] Two examples from today:
[Largo] 8/20/13 10:40:11p Pun'isher thinks, "Largo! its Pun. Um do you have anywhere I can hide from...the punparazzi"
[Largo] The joke is that her name is "Pun'isher"
[Largo] she is combining it with the word "paparazzi" for comedic effect.
[Largo] "Comedic"
[Largo] 8/20/13 10:42:10p Pun'isher thinks, "well if a sharted there would be poup-on something"
[Largo] This is a poop & mustard joke.
[Largo] These jokes are undeniably a crime.
[Largo] Not just against me, no.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining. Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Largo] Not just against those who can immediately hear her.
[Largo] But against ALL sentient life, for these onerous jokes echo just as surely as an earthquake
[Largo] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Largo.
[Haengemie] Pun'isher, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Pun'isher] I hope his words arent taken seriously.
[Pun'isher] I don't deserve any Pun-itive damage or sentence
[Pun'isher] to coin a phrase
[Pun'isher] when success seems out of reach what do you do..you P.U.N.T.!
[Pun'isher] isn't brown mustard and sharting similalr
[Pun'isher] i was making comparipuns
[Pun'isher] it could have been worse
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining. Please finish up, or say "done"...

[Largo] Look, I'll keep this brief.
[Largo] Just send her to jail.
[Largo] Just do it.
[Largo] Pleas.e
[Largo] I'm begging you.
[Largo] For the good of our fair town.
[Largo] May the gods have mercy on her soul, and on ours.
[Largo] Also, I misused the word "onerous". But I'm the president, and that doesn't matter.
[Largo] I recommend the maximum sentence.
[Largo] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Largo.
[Haengemie] Pun'isher, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Pun'isher] Under where did this become brief? I say.
[Pun'isher] when did this become so pun-gent a matter
[Pun'isher] pun-ishable by whom?

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

[Haengemie] Largo, this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] Pun'isher, you are free to go.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Largo's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Largo, you are hereby sentenced to spend 45 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 275 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (226c)...
[Haengemie] ...as additional jail-time of 30 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
