Thank you Red Back.

As clarification, the answering of questions by the Witness may occur concurrently with objections being made by the opposing party and answered by a Justice.

That said, would the Prosecution @Dinoium please start us off?

Thank you, Your Honor.

So greetings @red back. I know very much you don’t wish to get dragged into any court-related drama but it is necessary so we can authenticate some things.

Now, while you have already already informed us this, we need this for the official court record. Did you communicate with Whole India and if so, what was the timeline of the conversation?

Hi All,

My communication started with Whole India around the 6th of November of this year (2019) when I became aware of a condemnation they had submitted to the Security Council. The submitted condemnation was aimed at me personally but listed a large amount of operations I had no part of in planning or running as I had not been active in raiding from around 2011. I posted on the forum thread in NationStates & also sent a message in game pointing this out. The conversation thread has been submitted into evidence unaltered. I have had no communication for about a month.

I have also made it known to Dinoium that if required I have no objections for a NationStates in game Mod confirming what I have submitted to be unaltered & all of our correspondence.

Thank you for confirming that you had such a conversation.

As for NS mods confirming, feel free. Though, for the moment, I’d prefer if you confirm the below evidence first before proceeding to NS moderation intervention.

Firstly, can you confirm that this conversation happened and if so, can you upload a more updated version of the full conversation?

Additionally to that, did this telegram happened?

Yes, this conversation took place. This is the full conversation I had with Whole India & there has been no more correspondence since.

I never received this message.

In regards to the matter of cross-checking with NS Moderation, the Court would suggest thinking on such, as the possibility of having a NS mod willing and able to authentic that evidence would seem low.

With the deposition at hand, does the Prosecution @Dinoium have any further followup questions, and does the Defendant @Whole India have any objections to the questions asked thus far?

The prosecution at this time has no more questions and would like to pass the mic over to @Whole India.

I have found Defence Counsel, I will be represented by Deropia from this point forward.

Thank you Dinonium.

As such, we will await any questions the Defense @Deropia may have, or objections to the previously asked questions.

Thank you, Your Honour. The Defence has no objections to the testimony given and no questions for the witness at this time as we have been able to resolve this case. My thanks to the Witness, @red back, for appearing before the Court.

Thank you Defense.

Assuming then that the Prosecution @Dinoium has no objections, the Court will be wrapping this up per procedure and would like to thank the Witness @red back for their time.

The prosecution has no objections. We thank @red back for his time. It was very plentiful and useful for this case to proceed.

The official record of the Deposition has now been placed in the trial thread.
