[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Werdergast] I summon you all here because the defendant, Ghost, tried to physically stop me from saving Puddleby from the threat of overgrowing Kudzu.
[Werdergast] He is anti-Puddleby, and should be banished from town!
[Werdergast] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Werdergast
[Haengemie] Ghost, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Ghost] I have done nothing
[Ghost] witness: Tarf
[Haengemie] Thank you, Ghost
[Haengemie] Tarf, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Tarf] The plaintiff is guilty of harming zoo property.
[Tarf] He is disguising this by having you think that he was saving puddleby
[Tarf] when in reality his purpose was to be a snert
[Tarf] many saw what he was doing
[Tarf] and asked him to stop
[Tarf] but he persisted
[Tarf] and it was because of him that animals in the zoo got out
[Tarf] where both exile and beast alike were harmed
[Tarf] He is clearly a menace to society
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Tarf] and should be, himself, banished from town.
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Werdergast, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Werdergast] I helped save Puddleby, helped fight back the zoo animals... and all Ghost did was try to hamper my efforts
[Werdergast] he is a heinous person who should be dealt with stictly by you jurors
[Werdergast] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Werdergast
[Haengemie] Ghost, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Ghost] I was in this court room when he was trying to "save" puddlby
[Ghost] I don't know why he picked me as a subject to his impertinence
[Ghost] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Ghost

  Votes frivolous: 8
  Abstaining: 0

[Haengemie] Werdergast 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 Werdergast's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.

[Haengemie] Werdergast, you are hereby sentenced to spend 121 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 748 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (747c)...
[Haengemie] ...as additional jail-time of 95 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] In addition, Werdergast, I'm going to banish you from the city limits for 2 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.
