The Honourable Judge Haengemie, presiding.

To all who read these precepts, the following transcript of this trial is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.
Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Tarf] Ahh, i see jury duty has rescued some of you
[Tarf] it is good
[Tarf] Lilit claims that the undine cave is "her" sanctuary. No part of these lands belong to any one exile.
[Tarf] earlier, a large spawn of beasts killed some exiles
[Tarf] a rescue attempt was mounted
[Tarf] and in the middle of it, a VERY large spawn killed that group
[Tarf] solas, on eof the fallen, was then pushed into the dark cave
[Tarf] luring other exiles no doubt
[Tarf] into her created undine trap!
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Tarf] witness: solas
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Solas, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] I do not claim the sanctuary is mine.
[Lilit] The sanctuary is a dangerous place, to be avoided.
[Lilit] I only bring that message.
[Lilit] I warned those trying to rescue that midnight would prove perilous.
[Lilit] And indeed, it was.
[Lilit] Were these my actions? No. I am the messenger.
[Lilit] As for Solas, I was bringing her to the Wraith.
[Lilit] I see a promise in her, and wished her to experience something.
[Lilit] I spoke of this with her love, Xavier.
[Lilit] I pushed noone else into the cave. That's nonsense.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] I lay fallen with everyone else for most of the time.
[Lilit] How could my actions be the cause?
[Lilit] witness: Xavier
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Xavier, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Xavier. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Xavier, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Xavier] My love her was abit mistaken.
[Xavier] My love her was abit mistaken.
[Xavier] aye Lilit was pushing her but not into the cave
[Xavier] I have nothing against lilit for this as she has told me she would talk to solas and let her know what she ment to do
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Xavier] I dont know what else to say other then she wasnt trying to harm my love Solas
[Xavier] please call solas as a witnes
[Haengemie] Thank you, Xavier
[Xavier] please call solas as a witness
[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Tarf] Warning them it might be perilous is one thing. Luring undine directly into healers trying to rescue is simply wrong.
[Tarf] and as for her saying she didnt push anyone into the cavern?
[Tarf] i cite past court convictions of her fdoing just that: www.deltatao.com
[Tarf] she maliciously lures undine into exiles
[Tarf] in an attempt to murder them
[Tarf] she is a danger to our town
[Tarf] and there are still fallens as a result of her wrongdoings
[Tarf] she deserves no less than imprisonment
[Tarf] and as for solas? lets hear her words <g>
[Tarf] witness:
[Tarf] witness: solas
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Solas, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Solas. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Solas, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Solas] from what i saw, lilit was pushing me into the dark cave
[Solas] i asked her what she was doing, and she didn't answer
[Solas] when people came to rescue us all, she took of running
[Solas] it appeared that she was leading us all into our deaths
[Solas] she puts the undine before her own fellow exiles
[Solas] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Solas
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] I lured none of my children onto anyone.
[Lilit] I spent my time trying to warn the exiles of the danger.
[Lilit] As far as "citing" past incidents, that's nonsense.
[Lilit] I have also been aquitted of such charges many times as well.
[Lilit] I work to stop the Darshak. I wish to see no one harmed.
[Lilit] I state the danger time and time again, but so few listen.
[Lilit] I do my work in the cavern to stop evil, not to cause it.
[Lilit] It is dangerous, thankless work, but my intent is not criminal.
[Lilit] I ask for your tolerance and understanding.
[Lilit] Let us not revert to the persecution that the emperor engags in.
[Lilit] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Lilit this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Lilit's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] Lilit, you are hereby sentenced to spend 60 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 130 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (130c) as additional jail-time of 18 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.

Court adjourned at 8:00 on 58 Autumn, 537
