[Haengemie] Soulmaster, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster. You have been calledto testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.

[Soulmaster] Llerendel is a liar she was spamming that they raped Algernon, for one this is not possible to do in clan lord,

[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Soulmaster] One should not lie about things someone does
[Soulmaster] but tell the truth
[Soulmaster] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Llerendel, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Llerendel] Fellow exiles, I am not accused of sexual harassment. I am more properly charged with libel or slander --
[Llerendel] -- of defaming the names of Cid and Syd.
[Llerendel] However, in any case of this nature, there is one guiding factor in jurisprudence --
[Llerendel] Truth Is A Valid Defence
[Llerendel] Last night, I presented evidence that Cid and Syd did assault Algie in the Purple Tor Inn
[Llerendel] I posted that information on Usenet.
[Llerendel] Later today, I expect to charge Syd with the same crime.
[Llerendel] The action today is an attempt to demonstrate
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Llerendel] that the predation on our mentally handicapped population is appropriate behavior
[Llerendel] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Llerendel
[Haengemie] Mad Hatter, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Mad Hatter] Llerendel will not leave Syd and Cid alone! Harrasment is not a joke and it should be stopped!
[Mad Hatter] She claims they harrased Algernon, but they did not!
[Mad Hatter] She yells insanities about how they malested him.
[Mad Hatter] Syd wants to be a witness, but this topic is very touchy for him.
[Mad Hatter] Second off all, usenet is something for ooc matters, do not combine it with IC.
[Mad Hatter] I just want her to stop this abuse.
[Mad Hatter] I do not care about her in jail or money.
[Mad Hatter] I just want her to stop this!
[Mad Hatter] witness: cid
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mad Hatter
[Haengemie] Cid, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Cid. You have been calledto testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Cid, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Cid] Hail, Jury, I'm going to make my comments as short and to the point as possible.
[Cid] First of all I'm lucky that Ller can't hear what I'm saying because she could, quote, "post it on usenet" or whatever...
[Cid] she took me to court forh arassing algy...
[Cid] ...and then proved innocent I was....
[Cid] ....but still she believe we did....
[Cid] ....and is yelling in town about rape and sodomy...
[Cid] And I don't believe I've hurt her in any way...
[Cid] But still....
[Cid] I can still claim things like that....
[Cid] Say: RELKIN EATS BEANS NAKED!
[Cid] And that'd ruin Relkin's reputation (if it were true)l...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Cid] ...but since he doesn't, people will hear "RELKIN EATS BEANS NEAKED"...
[Cid] ...but they will never hear the truth.
[Cid] BEER!
[Cid] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Cid
[Haengemie] Llerendel, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Llerendel] I did not charge Cid&Sid with harassment. I charge them with kidnapping and assaulting Algernon, with throwing me out of the Inn room, and locking the door,
[Llerendel] throwing me out of the Inn room, and locking the door, with satisfying their perverse sexual deviancy upon his naked helpless body
[Llerendel] satisfying their perverse sexual deviancy upon his naked helpless body
[Llerendel] BTW, I have no idea what Cid said because of the courtroom layout, so I cannot rebut him.
[Llerendel] My name is Llerendel Starchasm. I am Clan Lady of the Dark Cloaks.
[Llerendel] As Inquestor and Great Sage, I search for Truth.
[Llerendel] I do not forge logs, or make up tales.
[Llerendel] I interviewed many dwarves yesterday, and they all repudiated Syd and Cid's behavior.
[Llerendel] I hope this jury will do likewise.
[Llerendel] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Llerendel
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Mad Hatter 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 (120 min/1000 c) , and suggest that the jury recommend a stiff sentence.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Mad Hatter's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Mad Hatter, you are hereby sentenced to spend 156 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 166 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (166c) as additional jail-time of 11 minutes.

Court adjourned at 11:33 on 2 Spring, 534
