Judge Requests

[thejudge_tlv]

If your character uses their communicator to contact the Judge, drop a line here! The Judge considers herself to be harsh, but fair.

Additionally, fill out the form to receive a sentence for a crime related to a Barge transfer (that is, crimes in which an in-game character is involved somehow as the accuser, the defendant, a victim/witness, etc.):

<b>Accuser:</b> If it's a random NPC, just note that <b>Defendant:</b> If it's a random NPC, just note that <b>Evidence:</b> (Quick bullet point summaries are fine; written out arguments are fine; links to courtroom threads where PC Accuser and Defendants are dealing with each other is fine; any format that your heart desires is Fine, basically) <b>Is leniency or extra severity being requested?:</b>

[ After Gonou has been seen to. ]

I wish to request that the mirror wall is made non-reflective on the Prisoner's side in order to minimize aggressive behavior. My new Prisoner will also be on light duty until his injuries are healed, then I shall give him an extra shift on the oars for the damages caused to the mirror wall. From his actions, I think he is at most startled by the lack of something called 'inhibitors' which allow him to appear human, thus his lashing out. He became calm with the mirror gone, so I think that is all that is needed.

[thejudge_tlv]

Quick clarification; pairings are on the 15th, like on the Barge! Is this forward-dated?

Re: OOC

[gonnaburnitdown]

Sure! Kira and I had discussed that Honou and Rishan are paired up already so this happened in their quarters in Gonou's post already but can be forward dated if that works.

Re: OOC

[thejudge_tlv]

It can work either way, since new arrivals will still be shoved into cabins attached to the cabins of random unpaired advocates! I just wasn't sure whether you wanted to have it set before or after their actual pairing, since the answer might differ slightly.

Re: OOC

[gonnaburnitdown]

The before! Rishan will certainly not hold the reaction against Gonou but the first time is especially easy for him to forgive.

Re: OOC

[thejudge_tlv]

Gotcha, will do!

[thejudge_tlv]

Hmn.

[She considers this, and then assents; Rishan's side remains intact, of course, but Gonou's side now appears to be a blank wall.]

Your plans are sound. Do keep a close eye on this one until he has an advocate of his own.

[gonnaburnitdown]

I shall. Thank you for your time.

[cold_noodles]

Accuser: Douglas Eiffel
Defendant: Nadja of Antipaxos
Evidence:
-eyewitness account from Osamu Kashiwagi (Advocate) of the attack upon Mr. Eiffel
-Mr. Eiffel's presence in the Infirmary
-blood on Nadja's arms, from self harm in attempt to escape her bindings
-blood on Nadja's mouth from a 'rabid' attack on Eiffel
Is leniency or extra severity being requested?:

Kashiwagi will request leniency, on account of Nadja being in a fragile mental state after her transfer, demotion, and the loss of both her family and friends. He also will not present any evidence regarding the wounds that Nadja gave him. He also made sure that she would be presentable (as he himself was as well) to pay respect to the court even though he's going to offer an insanity defense, given the rabidness of her attack, her vampiric nature, Douglas Eiffel's part in her separation from friends and family, and he will note how cooperative and willing to work with the court system she has been since recovering from her unfortunate 'fit' and that she deserves leniency given the adjustment she's going through both in system and in environment. (This is not bullshit only by the slimmest margin and he will ride the line of lying just so to ensure she looks as good as he can make her without outright breaking the rules.)

Verdict:
GUILTY of Dangerous Assault, First Count, based on eyewitness and physical evidence
NOT GUILTY of Attempted Murder, First Count, based on Advocate Osamu Kashiwagi's arguments regarding lack of premeditation

Mistress Judge, I've got a request from one of the new arrivals for a religious accommodation. Specifically, a cape used for religious observances. So far, he's worked the oars on his shifts and seems interested in complying with all rules and regulations.

[thejudge_tlv]

[Hmm.]

Observances of what sort?

[cold_noodles]

I can check with him on that. But he mentioned it would help with compliance, so I figure it's compliance with his own theocracy or religious laws.

[ This is total guestimation. But after a moment, he adds-]

He comes from a place where there's a state religion and to fail to do his observances properly is heresy. He's trying to follow the rules here, ma'am.

[thejudge_tlv]

Very well.

The item will be delivered to your quarters for inspection.

[cold_noodles]

Thank you, ma'am. I'll get back to work.

[mandrakeroot]

Can I request some basic first aid materials?

[thejudge_tlv]

For what purpose?

[mandrakeroot]

I'd like to continue lessons in basic first aid, which could also allow small injuries to be dealt with immediately instead of taking time to go to the infirmary.

really sorry, I missed this!

[thejudge_tlv]

Very well; you may have one kit.

Re: really sorry, I missed this!

[mandrakeroot]

Thank you.
