But then this court would tragically be lacking a case as I doubt CC shall let me sue myself. :-\

Quote from: tessspoon on May 23, 2007, 06:09:38 PMWhat happened to Racx as a suspect?
Mr. Racx was cleared as a suspect due to a lack of corroborating evidence.

Quote from: tessspoon on May 23, 2007, 06:09:38 PMI continue to claim my innocence and will attempt to use information found in previous posts to prove so, and anything else I manage to think of. :P
The Court applauds this stance.

HOLD IT! This Court has not approved anyone calling for witnesses yet. Furthermore, this Court would like to know who you're supposed to represent, and if the party you're representing accepts you representing them.

Quote from: Deloria on May 24, 2007, 04:26:11 AMI maintain the only reason I was implicated into this case was my terrible mental illness that causes me to burn random things. :no: It's purely coincidental that the cup I burned was made to look a valued piece of evidence.

::)

[spoiler]
I would then also like to point out that I've decided to adopt this court as a realme of mine (through right of conquest ;D) and thus I should not be addressed as "Ms" but rather as "Milady".  ;D [/spoiler]
The Court begs to differ. It finds it hard to believe the co-defendant did not notice the large sign 'evidence' hanging from the ceiling at the exact height the co-defendants' eyes would be when walking over to the evidence table.
[spoiler]This Court does not need to be adopted by anyone, as its jurisdiction over the whole of the TSL forum inhabitants has been implied by giving it its own thread. To remain impartial, henceforth this Court will be referring to you as 'co-defendant'.[/spoiler]

Quote from: Gilgamesh on May 24, 2007, 04:35:11 AMWhy don't we hold a recess again and it it happens again we'll know who did it.
At least if we all watch eachother. :P

The Court would like to know why the co-defendant would sue herself.

Have the defendant and the co-defendant concluded their opening statements?

I beg you pardon, your Honour, I am representing the State.
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

Deloria

Well, I'm told I need to be sued for adopting the letters U.E after my name despite having no legal right to do so. ::) But considering it's my crown, that technically means I must sue myself. ;P

And yes, my opening statement has been concluded, except that I would again like to stress, that I burned the cup unconsciously and probably would have burned many other things had I not been alerted that I'd just only received a new PM which brought me back to my senses.

Besides which, the true cup was not burnt, only a reproduction, thus am I not only guilty only of destroying fake evidence (and perhaps arson, though considering that it was not wilful, but rather a mental disorder and unconsciously, I'd opt for not)?

Yes, I agree, I can't argue. XD

Did you not read the label of this case? The State has no role here. You have to represent one of the party's in the label. Before you start representing anyone, you must first confer with that person upon which strategy you're going to follow, and see if the one your representing agrees. You can't go calling for witnesses blindly.

If the Manager of the Asylum has found you are indeed suffering from that kind of mental illness, your sentence will most probably be incarceration in the Asylum, but since you're already there... It does not matter a reproductive cup was burnt. You were not aware it was a copy when you burnt it, thus it was the real thing to you.
Okay, the Court will now allow the party's to call for witnesses/ Iit wishes to stress though, that nobody (claiming to) represent(ing) must be brought forward by the party in question, and that party must state it has talked through its strategy with said 'representor' and to follow what he/she says.

EDIT:
Quote from: Deloria on May 25, 2007, 01:56:29 PMhad I not been alerted that I'd just only received a new PM which brought me back to my senses.
The Manager of the TSL Asylum has asked This Court to ask Ms Deloria she makes a written statement, addressed to him, in how this new PM brought her back to her senses. This statement will (hopefully) help him to prepare himself for his interview with Ms Deloria, in determining why she burnt the cup. With the Psychiatric nurse being absent, he will have to take the interview himself. This Court will not read this written statement, that information is privy to the Manager of the TSL Asylum and MS Deloria. When the Manager has made his conclusion, the Court will receive a notification of the outcome and take it into consideration.

Since Mr. Pacman is not responding to this Court's summoning we suspect he is on extended leave from this realm and will allow other witnesses to be called for, whilst we wait for Mr. Pacman's return. 8)

I have enlisted the help of a lawyer. She should be here soon to call the next witness.

The Court would like to know the name of this lawyer. To ensure confidentiality, you may inform the name of this person via the President's PM-box. After all, we wouldn't want to see someone claiming to be your lawyer but being someone else when you were absent and damaging your case.

I shall kindly overlook the candy statement, though it does seem to be worth investigation.

My first question:

Were you, Gilgamesh,  present during the time the food court was open, in fact helping make juice?

Murray: I'm a powerful demonic force! I'm the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!

Guybrush Threepwood: Stride?

Murray: All right then, roll! ROLL through the gates of hell. Must you take the fun out of everything?

A fruit punch. :P

I did made some juice, but an evil salesperson has driven me out of business.
* points at pacman *
But like I said I haven't stolen that candybarr. :P

Why are you this preoccupied with a (supposed) stolen candy bar? This Court hasn't received any complaint regarding such a thing.

Quote from: Gilgamesh on June 28, 2007, 04:11:39 PMShouldn't I fist do the oath?

For the sake of continuity, let us assume the oath is automatically taken when the witness takes the stand, unless expressly stated otherwise by the witness. In such case, lawyers are forbidden to ask said witness questions until the Court has had its say.

It does when the juice is on the courtrooms floor, walls or cieling.

My next question,

Since you confirmed that you were making juice, were you then present during the time in which Tessy threw the cup into the trashcan? Did you see her?
Murray: I'm a powerful demonic force! I'm the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!

PS: Please don't let my remarks, not made by the President of the Court or any other member of it, hinder the witness in answering questions from the defense.
