    Discord Group Chat with me, prosecutor, and defense. Group forum PMs is also an option if you prefer. As long as you don't have private communication with either party, you're good.

    We don't, at least to my knowledge.

    [PRIVATE] The Northern Boys and Palvatone Indictment

    With Dreadton serving as defense in another case, that seems like a conflict of interest (even if that is probably going to be resolved before). I have asked LD, will ask Lord Lore depending on LD's answer. And I am OK with Wymondham as moderating justice. Go ahead, but don't make the same...

    The North Pacific v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland

    Both motions are denied. The proper time for submitting motions was, as per the Rules and Procedures, during the Evidence Submission phase. As the Argumentation Phase is only initiated when all outstanding motions and objections are resolved, the Defense finds itself in a catch-22: Either we are...

    [PRIVATE] The Northern Boys and Palvatone Indictment

    Suggestions on a Standby Hearing Officer? I would appoint Lord Dominator, but I got the impression they might run in the next regular judicial election too. Edit: And yes on the prima facie case.

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    This... feels like a genuine dick move. I missed the transcript -- that's on me. But the corrective is to remind me to post the transcript, not go off on this crusade. I also don't see how the RMB posts are excluded under the rules of evidence. But where this becomes a dick move is that Dreadton...

    The North Pacific v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland

    Per above clarification and accepted by both Defense and Prosecution, we move into the arguments phase. The Prosecution shall lay out their case first.

    The North Pacific v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland

    I asked both Prosecution and Defense whether you were ready to move to the arguments phase. Having not heard anything back, and not having seen any indication that Prosecution or Defense would call another witness, I want to move ahead. If I am wrong, please do say so now. Otherwise, yes, we are...

    [GA - defeated] Freedom of Opinion and Belief

    Against. It either does nothing because it relies on mind-reading powers, or it tries to protect people with the worst opinions in the most roundabout way possible. It's either useless or bad. The best thing to say is that the earlier drafts were incomprehensible too.

    Both Prosecution and Defense have concluded their questions for the witness. I will thus excuse the witness with thanks for their testimony.

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    I don't think the identification of the defendants is vague; if the witness can tell that a puppet is controlled by one of the defendants, the witness must include it, or qualify it by stating that it is their belief. If the witness cannot tell, the witness will be limited to the two known...

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    When a witness is called in a trial, the Court has a duty to ensure that the witness is not abused in a way that would make future witnesses hesitant to offer their testimony. Witnesses must be confident that their personal character is not open for questioning unless that is relevant to their...

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    I don't see it as questioning the credibility of the witness. "Have you been convicted" on its own is far closer to character assassination than that, at least in my eyes. If Dreadton had followed up those questions with something like "were any of the crimes for breaking your oath" (general...

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    I have to step in, with my apologies for not interrupting immediately, but I do not understand how these questions are relevant. Unless St George's previous indictments, trials, and convictions are somehow connected to their testimony in this trial, these questions are solely related to St...

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    Sigh. Okay. I don't see any relevance to how many times St George has been convicted, and I am tempted to strike the first two questions Dreadton posed from the record (since they have both been answered, I can't instruct the witness to disregard). St George's prior convictions are only relevant...

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    The witness spoke to the underpinning assumption that the alleged crime cannot be dismissed as a mere prank. That can be relevant to ascertaining guilt. The prosecution relies in part on whether damage was done to The Rejected Realm. If The Rejected Realm is particularly vulnerable and thus must...

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    We were around a week behind schedule in the sense that we should be wrapping up deposition, but had barely begun it. I have prodded Tlomz, who has assured me that they will move faster with the deposition, which I believe Tlomz has shown, and as you can see Dreadton has made the defense's...

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    Objection is sustained. Prosecutor you may either explain why the question is relevant to ascertaining the defendant's guilt, rephrase your question, or move on to your next question.

    [Deposition] TNP v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland; Witness: St George

    The witness does not speak to the mind or intent of the defendants, but is speculating on the effects of 'words such as those spoken by' them. I acknowledge that the effect postulated isn't in evidence, but in the context of The Rejected Realm's reaction, the effect does not need to be provable...

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    Just to be sure we're on the same page, you suggest the Saturday deadline solely for the prosecution's deposition? So we give the witness over to the defense on Sunday? Tlomz has also told me privately the RL reasons for their slow walk the last two weeks, which I find pretty legitimate. That's...

    [Private] KEKISTON, GrandEngland indictment

    I have moved the thread into the private chambers as we are now a full Court. The case before us is seriously over time, though. Despite several proddings from me to the defense and prosecutor at various times we are still only at the first question in the prosecution's deposition. My sense is...
