Events The Trial of Lady Belligerent and Ananta Chetan

​

So, it has come to this. Somehow I always knew it would, not because of some foreknowledge granted me by the shabla force, but because it is simply human nature...

​

A crime has been committed here, within the jurisdiction of the EUC, and with no EUC Senate to resolve the issue, it falls to the Judges, @Sinrebirth and myself to decide the issue.

@Lady Belligerent, come forward. You stand accused of kidnapping a jetii rodent, torture of said rodent, conspiracy to commit squirrel napping and bribery.

@Ananta Chetan, you stand accused of collusion in this matter, and thus conspiracy to commit squirrel napping and bribery.

Both of you shall be accorded representation in this matter should you wish. Advocates to plead your case and call witnesses on your behalf.

​

Lady @Adalia-Durron, you shall be given every opportunity to present your own case or bring forth advocates for your own cause. I will allow the next several hours for the accused to put into place their legal teams before presentation of the evidence is made before this court. However, before any proceedings can properly begin I must ask of the accused;

Lady Belligerent, Ananta Chetan,

​

 

I note you said nothing of financial motivation...

 

So entered.

You may if you wish enlist the services of your own attorney, or even act in your own stead. If neither of those prove feasible than one can be appointed for you.

@Quinlan Vos, a bonus point or two for participating in this.

 

In any case, our own exorbitant compensation provided to us for our oversight of this realm is more than enough to assuage any fears of undue financial influence.

 

*Slides into a seat in the back*

 

enters and looks around

Well, this will be interesting

 

"I'm out of order?! No, you're out of order! This whole system is out of order!"

 

...is not quite sure what is happening, but is always willing to serve the cause of upholding Light and Truth. (She is also quite familiar with being a victim of possibly unjust persecution, it happens to her species often...)
She scoots in and sits quietly next to @Sarge, watching opening presentations and arguments.

 

Enters and takes a seat, observing the proceedings with a watchful eye.

 

*Arrives in full three-piece suit with pocket square and watch chain*

Ahem. I am Lady Bellorum’s legal counsel, and have instructed her to answer no questions unless at my direct instruction.

Let it be known that this so-called trial is, in the eyes of myself, my client, and the Sith, a complete farce. These trumped up charges being levied at my client are unfounded and utterly without merit, and it is only out of respect to the legal process itself that the Sith have chosen to entertain at all this political stunt designed specifically to drag my client’s good name through the mud with no hard evidence.

 

(I... Think that was his defense...)

 

* Eyes his former friend *

 

*offers customary salutations to the judiciary committee*

I plead...not guilty...at all.

*wipes cookie crumbs off tunic*

I would like to humbly request the legal counsel of honorable Knight Bonaventure @Sarge and for his assistant/ sidekick padawan Sanchari @TheRynJedi .

@Bardan_Jusik

 

*takes a seat in the rafters muttering something about the accusations of @Lady Belligerent being ridiculous as she was too busy locking him in a box and torturing her lover/legal counsel at the time of supposed fleabag Jedi squirrel abduction*

 

*slips in and silently takes a seat next to @DarthIshyZ and whispers* Good. I haven’t missed anything, yet.

 

*Vanora slides into the back row & casts a curious look at the defendants' table* Fascinating ...

 

*through the window notices people outside the courtroom waving signs and selling t-shirts in support*
