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>
[Volcom] Greetings everyone.
[Volcom] Sombre has been karma bombing me for a while, you can tell by my bad karma.
[Volcom] He has also been harrassing me.
[Volcom] (Sombre checks out Volcom.)
[Volcom] Sombre shows his Purple Tor Inn key to everyone.
[Volcom] Sombre asks, "how bout it?"
[Volcom] Sombre says, "I can play a mexican boy if you like that sort of thing."
[Volcom] I think this should be stopped.
[Volcom] Done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Volcom
[Haengemie] Sombre, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Sombre] I beg the courts forgiveness your honor.
[Sombre] Volcom seemed especially interested in me
[Sombre] I thought we had a special connection
[Sombre] but I was mistaken.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Sombre] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sombre
[Haengemie] Volcom, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Volcom] I just hope after this he will stop harrassing other exiles like this.
[Volcom] That sort of harrassment is not appropriate.
[Volcom] witness: Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Thank you, Volcom
[Haengemie] Soulmaster, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Soulmaster, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Soulmaster] he's tellin the truth
[Soulmaster] he's tellin the truth
[Soulmaster] Sombre has been harrassing him
[Soulmaster] I saw it
[Soulmaster] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Soulmaster
[Haengemie] Sombre, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Sombre] First of all, I have not been karma bombing Volcom. I gave him one bad karma.
[Sombre] Second of all. Giving bad karma is not a crime.
[Sombre] Third. Like I said, Volcom invited me to join him in a private engagement, so I followed.
[Sombre] It turns out he was just putting me on.
[Sombre] Anyhow
[Sombre] witness: Gandor Durin
[Haengemie] Thank you, Sombre
[Haengemie] Gandor Durin, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Gandor Durin. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Gandor Durin, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Gandor Durin] ok, look it's as simple as this sombre is a homoesexual and he thought volcom was inviting him to a room
[Gandor Durin] volcom was apparently messing with sombre's mind so he cursed him
[Gandor Durin] cursing is not a crime, cursing is a tool used to describe someone
[Gandor Durin] if i would curse bill lets say
[Gandor Durin] it would be my own opinion
[Gandor Durin] should someone be fined and go to jail for their opinion?
[Gandor Durin] if sombre was "harassing" volcom then volcom should have ignored him and that was it
[Gandor Durin] sombre seems decent and come on he is a thoom how can he be evil?
[Gandor Durin] the only evil thoom is narse FYI =P
[Gandor Durin] anyways thanks for your time...
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Gandor Durin] and bill your lucky <G>
[Gandor Durin] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Gandor Durin
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

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

[Haengemie] Volcom, you are hereby sentenced to spend 34 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 574 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (559c) as additional jail-time of 71 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 23:01 on 11 Winter, 539
