[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[wutold] First of all, I'd like to apologize to the jury for taking you away from your hunts.
[wutold] This is a straightforward case: here is the relevant text log.
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:16:08a wutold asks, "Did you send him in there?"
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:16:18a Aldynes is no longer Clanning.
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:16:22a Daisy is no longer Clanning.
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:16:29a Malkor says, "Well, I tried to get him to put a measure on the ballot."
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:16:50a Malkor says, "So Lotte wouldn
[wutold] 8/19/00 2:17:02a Malkor says, "… and I might have pushed him into the voting booth, in spite."
[wutold] wutold isn't sure if that worked.
[wutold] But that's it.
[wutold] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, wutold
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Malkor] Okay, this is all a misunderstanding…
[Malkor] I was asking Wutold to help me get Algy out of the voting booth and said that suing would be a last resort.
[Malkor] I took him there so he could how our democratic system worked.
[Malkor] I said "Algy walk southwest" so he could see the voting booth, but when I yellled, "Algy heal east"…
[Malkor] He wouldn't leave. I tried again and again, and realized he was either asleep or didn't respond to yells.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Malkor] I went into town and tried to get some help…
[Malkor] Malkor sighs.
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
[Haengemie] wutold, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[wutold] It's possible this was an accident.
[wutold] But one shouldn't mess with Algernon.
[wutold] Many exiles like myself rely on his services daily.
[wutold] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, wutold
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Malkor] Listen, I'm really sorry about this…
[Malkor] I absolutely did not mean to get Algy stuck.
[Malkor] I take him for tours of the areas around town every now and then.
[Malkor] We play pushball every other Somdi…
[Malkor] I guess I'll wait til there are less clanning and sue him then.
[Malkor] Unless anyone present knows how to get him to walk east.
[Malkor] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor

[Haengemie] Malkor this court finds you innocent. You are free to go.
