The Court Thread

[Lollotte]

The jury is in the process of deliberating. Please be patient, and we'll arrive at a verdict as soon as possible. Thank you.

Nothing that draws people more to a forum than jury duty.

If I were a team member of some sorts, I could've had some leverage to persuade them.

Ahem. Could we please get the court back in session. I am eager to start with Q's case and after 15+ pages this case should really end eventually.

The Court has a hunch Q's case will not take 15+ pages as it thinks nobody will be questioning your case.

Meaning no disrespect to either the (definitely guilty, in my opinion) Raforever or to the Almighty Princess Rosella.

Whilst you are entitled to your own opinion you are still not involved in this case so please do not try to influence the Jury. Also, apart from disrespect to the defendant and the prosecutor, please refrain from disrepecting The Court too, if you would.

I'll help Cat decide

For the Jury to reach a fair and honest verdict I cannot allow influence from anyone outside of the Jury now. They must come clean with their own conscience so if I catch you anywhere near the Jury chambers this Court will have the bailiff (?) hold you into custody until the Jury has reached its verdict.

Further instructions as to make sure this case follows procedure:
If you would be so kind as to announce your departure from the Jury chambers (and only that), that would be greatly appreciated. Then you must wait until The Court asks The President of the Jury to read out the verdict. After that is done one of the Court Aides will come and collect the verdict and bring it to The Court to review and confirm. If/When the Court confirms the verdict, only then is this Case over.

Well then someone needs to bring her upto date on what has happened so far

[Lollotte]

EXTRA! EXTRA!

The jury has finally reached its verdict. We have unanimously voted Raforever GUILTY. However, we have agreed that the punishment should be decided in open discussion with the court and judge. Thank you for your patience!

Love, The Jury

[Rosella]

Isn't the President of the Jury supposed to say this. And AFTER the Court asks for the verdict? In fact, Jafar isn't mentioned at all. I agree with the verdict, but if something's wrong here....

[Lollotte]

Well, we don't really have a president of the Jury. I just posted it because it was most convenient for me to do so. We have been deliberating via private messages (just in case you were curious  )...What's on your mind?

PS: Whoops! Forgot Jafar! I added him to the list. 

[racx_00]

I never got any of these private messages

[Lollotte]

Yeah, well, you were not a jury member!

[racx_00]

Ok, thats a good point

[Jafar]

It's ture. As President of the Jury, I can confirm this.

[Lollotte]

Thank you, Jafar! 

[Jafar]

Anything, for Truth, Justice, and the Vitamin C way!

Although Kels is right, we made a bit of a mistake saying the verdict too early...oh well.

[Lollotte]

It doesn't matter. CC wasn't here to ask for it from us, anyways. 

[racx_00]

Bob may not approve but meh, he'll get over it

[Lollotte]

It'll be good for him. He needs a bit of excitement from time to time in this court. Right, CC? 

[Rosella]

So, this being the official verdict... Raf's guilty! Raf, now that you've been officially proven guilty, I think you should at least confess (for the third time.)

[Deloria]

Great! Raf's guilty! Q is no longer in danger of extinction since Raf is going to prison (or the dishwashing mines) and therefore his case must not further trouble this courtroom. If Mr.Q would kindly remove himself from the evidence table, then we can celebrate.

Well, we don't really have a president of the Jury.

Yes, you DO!

Isn't the President of the Jury supposed to say this. And AFTER the Court asks for the verdict?

Yes, they SHOULD!

It doesn't matter. CC wasn't here to ask for it from us, anyways.

Don't you dare talk like that about me after that stunt you just pulled!

It's ture. As President of the Jury, I can confirm this.

* The Court  sends over an aide to pick up the verdict and can confirm Raf has been found GUILTY

It'll be good for him. He needs a bit of excitement from time to time in this court. Right, CC? 

Excitement is not a word I'd use in this case. Disregard for the Court, not following procedure... I have just this one more thing to say to you: YOU WILL NOT SERVE IN A JURY EVERY AGAIN!

Great! Raf's guilty! Q is no longer in danger of extinction since Raf is going to prison (or the dishwashing mines) and therefore his case must not further trouble this courtroom.

Please explain how Raf being found guilty has any relevance to Mr. Q's extinction.

PS: In regard to the comments directed at Lollotte's behavior, they were purely in my function as President of the Court and should not be viewed as a personal attack of any sorts. Thank you for your understanding.

[Jafar]

Yikes! He broke the judge hammer thingy!

[Lollotte]

He sure did. But that's okay. Like I said, it is not the end of the world, and besides, jury duty is super time consuming. I need to do homework, after all! The main thing is, this case has run its course. Now all CC has to say is "case closed!"
