[Tyking II] 7/30/00 5:07:19p Zaroff says, "hows this"

[Tyking II] I have no court record
[Tyking II] Also, I never cursed bigfat
[Tyking II] And even if Bigfat cursed me, Zaroff should not get away with those vulgarities!
[Tyking II] And if I was annoying you so much, why did you not tell me to stop?
[Tyking II] If "Hi Zaroff" annoys you, Zaroff. I suggest you seek medical help
[Tyking II] I have not become a nuisance, and if I have, nobody has voiced any concern

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

[Haengemie] Zaroff this court finds you guilty, as accused.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jury, please note: one prior conviction in the past year.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Zaroff'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 112 minutes to the sentence.
[Haengemie] Zaroff, you are hereby sentenced to spend 137 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 416 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (416c) as additional jail-time of 54 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, Zaroff, I'm going to banish you from the city limits for 10 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.
