[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Kaitlyn] witness:Michael
[Kaitlyn] Lilit was pushing the fallen into the dark cave
[Kaitlyn] of which I was one
[Kaitlyn] witness Michael
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Kaitlyn] witness : Michael
[Kaitlyn] witness: Michael
[Haengemie] Thank you, Kaitlyn
[Haengemie] Michael, 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 am accused of pushing fallen into the dark cave.
[Lilit] I challenge Kaitlyn to name a single person who was pushed into the cave.
[Lilit] Many were fallen in front of the cave, and I make the way clear for my children.
[Lilit] But not a single exile entered the cavern from any action of mine.
[Lilit] If this is what I am accused of, it is a falsehood.
[Lilit] Even Gurgi, in the jury, was there, and he knows I speak the truth.
[Lilit] Kaitlyn makes no effort to make a case of her own, but acts for Michael.
[Lilit] He is known to harbor a strong prejudice against me...
[Lilit] ...he continually harasses me during quiet moments in the sanctuary.
[Lilit] He savors using this court, and you the jurors...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lilit] ...to persue his own persecution against me.
[Lilit] Let us not encourage such behavior.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lilit
[Haengemie] Kaitlyn, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Kaitlyn] How can you say that you were making way for your children when you pushed me into the entrance of the dark cave and not away from it?
[Kaitlyn] cave instead of away from it?
[Kaitlyn] Michael was right there and that is why I attempt to call him as a witness.
[Kaitlyn] Do not hold it against me that I am new to be exiled
[Kaitlyn] Slayer was also pushed by you.
[Kaitlyn] If you were making way for your children as you say, then you would have pushed us the other way
[Kaitlyn] witness:michael
[Kaitlyn] witness michael
[Kaitlyn] witness : michael
[Kaitlyn] witness: michael
[Haengemie] Thank you, Kaitlyn
[Haengemie] Michael, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Michael. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Michael, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Michael] This is a simple case
[Michael] This is a simple case
[Michael] its not about good and evil
[Michael] or about weather she has the right to follow the undine ways
[Michael] i saw her try to push 2 exiles into the dark cave
[Michael] plain and simple
[Michael] the only reason she didn't get it done is becuase of kait's quick action in sleeping
[Michael] and because other exiles blocked her
[Michael] any who where there saw this
[Michael] thank you
[Michael] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Michael
[Haengemie] Lilit, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lilit] Kaitlyn, did you enter the cave? No.
[Lilit] Did I push you INTO the cave? No.
[Lilit] Was ANYONE pushed into the cave? No.
[Lilit] Do you read my mind? Do you know my intent? No.
[Lilit] I pushed you, yes.
[Lilit] But you accuse me of pushing fallen INTO the cave.
[Lilit] That did NOT happen.
[Lilit] No one was pushed into the cave.
[Lilit] You do not understand where my children emerge, sister.
[Lilit] I did what I did to aid the communnion.
[Lilit] Many fell in the cave tonight...
[Lilit] ...but if anyone were responsible for that...
[Lilit] ...it would be Terenas, who encouraged such a foolish charge!
[Lilit] Michael claims to know my intent as well.
[Lilit] But let us hope this jury makes decisions based on fact...
[Lilit] ...and not speculation.
[Lilit] No fallens were pushed in the cave.
[Lilit] So no one can be found guilty of such an act.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[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] On Autumn 336 of 537, Lilit was found guilty, being charged with being an evil servant of the undine.
[Haengemie] On Winter 13 of 538, Lilit was found guilty, being charged with Pushing Troy into the Undine Cave.
[Haengemie] On Winter 21 of 538, Lilit was found guilty, being charged with spawning rotted corpses and killing exiles.
[Haengemie] Due to the 4 priors in the past year,
[Haengemie] the maximum sentence is raised to 240 minutes in jail or a fine of 2000c,
[Haengemie] or, possibly, a combination of jail and fine, depending on the jury's recommendations.
[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] Because of outstanding fines still owed from previous convictions...
[Haengemie] I'm going add 45 minutes to the sentence.
[Haengemie] Lilit, you are hereby sentenced to spend 181 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 372 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (370c) as additional jail-time of 48 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, Lilit, I'm going to banish you from the city limits for 11 days.
[Haengemie] After you've served your jail-sentence, I suggest you sneak out of town quietly, and don't let the guards catch you.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.

Court adjourned at 7:54 on 25 Spring, 538
