Would the defense like to make an opening statement?

If not, Tahna may call the first witness when ready.

*reads back through previous posts* Whoops. I botched up twice there, huh?

*whispers across the bench to MsChris* I don't think Tahna will be presenting until Saturday. But I could be wrong about that too.

The defense has one message from me. Mr. Capps, in his Holy Mightiness and Power, holds the key to everyone's accounts here. His finger is on the button.

The deleting starts in 5 minutes.

Well whats the use? Besides, it sorta helps your case now that one of the prosecution witnesses is essentially useless.

The People now call JeffKardde's Cat.

*Assistant whispers to Tahna's Ear*

Erm.... due to circumstances beyond my control, uh, thats right, the People will not be able to call JeffKardde's Cat to the stand. Sorry.

In any case, I move for adjournment until Monday. Won't be in on Flare all Sunday. Later.

Do you men to say that we have no translators available here?! What sort of farce trial are we trying to run here anyway? This is the modern age of the twenty-first century and the Honorable Court of Flare does not have a sheep translator?! UNACCEPTABLE!! Bailiff!! Find a sheep translator and find one now!!

A transcript of the sheep questioning, w/ translation:

Tahna: Okay. The People call Sheep number #2536. Please state your name and occupation for the record.

Sheep: BAAAAHHH!!!!! (My name is Warren. I'm a sheep.)

Tahna: Um, I said, State your name and occupation for the record.

Sheep: BAAAAHHH!!!!!! (I just told you!)

Tahna: Your Honour, please direct the witness to answer.

MsChris: Sheep, you must answer the question.

Sheep: BAAAAAHHHHH!!!! (What? I did!)

Tahna: Permission to treat witness as hostile.

MsChris: Granted.

Tahna: Sheep, are you a member of Mr. Capps so called "Sheep Militia"?

Sheep: BAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! (Of course not! Those guys are wackos!)

Tahna: Did you participate in the Sheep revolution earlier this year?

Sheep: BAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! (No! I have a ewe and twelve lambs to take care of. I can't go running about revolting. The very idea is... um... Well, I was going to say "revolting", but that's just silly...)

MsChris: Answer the question or I will hold you in contempt.

Sheep: BAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! (What are you talking about? What do you want from me?)

MsChris: Guards, take him away. And bring me the sheep menu while you're at it.

Sheep: BAAAHHH!!! BAAAAHHH!!!! BAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! (BAAAHHH!!! BAAAAHHH!!!! BAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!)

MIB: You can't get rid of me that easily!! I AM THE LAW!!!! MsChris. You are charged with obstruction of justes. The penalty is 3 years in prison. How do you plead.

MsChris: Of for god's sake. Not you again.

MIB: Answer the quetion!!

MsChris: *sigh* Not guilty *quietly waves at the guards to take away MIB again*

MIB: I knew you'd say that. I find you guilty. GUARDS!!! Take him away!

*guards grab MIB and start taking him away*

MIB: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! I AM THE LAW!!!

MsChris: Guards. Get him to shut up.

*one of the guards pistol whips MIB. He get's knocked out and falls to the floor with a thud*

MsChris: Get him outta here!

*The guards drag MIB away.*

MsChris: Someone needs to ban those damn sci-fi conventions. Let's get on with this!!!!

Thank you for the translation TSN. With MsChris in absentia at the moment, I take the liberty of banning MIB from the Court of Flare. Guards, please keep a better lookout for that insane renegade. *mutters* "I am the law." Yeah right...

Yes. The People call TSN to the stand.

1) Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me [insert whatever divine deity you believe in here]?

2) State your name and occupation for the court.

3) How long have you known the defendant?

4) How did you come across his plans to take over the world?

5) Please describe this thread marked "People's Exhibit A". Please identify your role in this thread.

More questions to come. I want to give the defense a chance to object to any of my questions.
