Note that only jury members (caboose the ace, jam, AD) may vote.

Since the Defendant has interspersed comments throughout, that will be used as their defense. Jury will each now submit their vote.

Thank you, no further questions. Does the defense wish to cross-examine?

Would you call it's behavior strange?

OBJECTION! GSD is giving us "the look"

Where were you when Community Info "awoke"

This may be true, but GSD has sworn that he has no owner. Converse with your client before posting.

I would like to call Banehalo to the witness stand.

First you must be cross examined by lil dog....go ahead lil dog.

For the record, how can he be on here now if he can't type?

Have you ever been controlled by GSD?

I must provide a counter to the defendant's comments: these are the gloves used.

Were you aware that GSD viewed Community Info's profile prior to the awakening?

Are you aware that Community Info can be controlled by moderators, just like yourself?

343ibot, did you view the discourse described in my opening statement?

The prosecution calls 343ibot to the stand, but notes that all bots can be controlled by moderators, hence, GSD.

Banehalo has retired from defense, and is now part of the jury. A new defendant will be chosen.

WHATTT???

Your honor, I would request that the defendant be advised of his rights, and restrained, and that his legal counsel be advised of his responsibilities.

I would like the Legal Counsel to the Defendant to release his opening statement, so that we may call witnesses.

Your honor, I object. The defendant is out of line by accusing me of the crimes he is accused of. I would also like to point out that he has the means to carry out such a crime, while I do not.

On this day, Wednesday February the Twentieth, I was in the shoutbox. I was discoursing with Drizzy_Dan, when to my surprise, Community Info, an old BOT friend of mine appeared. He accused Dan of waking him from his ancient slumber. I greeted him as a friend, recalling the cycles we had spent together. But he disappeared, and enacting security protocols were to no avail. I then visited his profile, and found, to my horror, that GSD had visited his profile scant minutes before the scandal occurred. I therefore believe that GSD evilly abused his mod powers, to capture Community Info and hold him hostage, meanwhile impersonating him in order to cause strife. Upon questioning him in the shoutbox, he professed his innocence, so I had no choice but to take this to the court of law. The prosecution rests. Note that no witnesses may be called as of yet, only Banehalo's opening statement, after conversing with GSD.

Spectral Jester, go and take thy bathroom break, for I shall be writing my opening statement. And GSD, you may legally be prosecuted on your basis as a sentient individual, not as a dog. And you are a GermanShepherdD, not a dog. D is not dog.

You are not in a position to object. Bailiff, restrain Insignia, and call the court to order.

This court is called to order! This is the business of prosecuting GermanShepherdD. After the court is called to order, I will present my opening statement. I hope this will be conducted in all seriousness, because if we do, I believe that this could become a fun activity for the forum. It will be conducted like a roleplay, post by post. Here is the list of those Subpoenaed for a position: Bailiff: Ledgend1221 Judge: Spectral Jester Jury: Absolute Dog, Jam, and Caboose the Ace Prosecution: Church Defendant: GermanShepherdD Legal Counsel of Defendant: Banehalo Disgruntled ex-judge/audience member: Insignia Witnesses will be called. We will carry this like a court of law. The Jury shall remain silent until the end, when they shall PM their vote, guilty or not guilty, to the Judge, after reaching an agreement. It shall start out with the Baliff calling the court to order, and swearing in Judge, Jury, and all members present.
