[FourWinged] I have rights to beleive that this kitten is an imposter.

  Votes innocent: 2
  Votes guilty: 1
  Votes frivolous: 8
  Abstaining: 0

[Haengemie] Rim 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 Rim's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

  Avg recommended jail/fine: 87 min/93c

[Haengemie] Rim, you are hereby sentenced to spend 87 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 93 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (76c) as additional jail-time of 11 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
