Trial hearing: Crown v. Meadow



  • Meadow stands accused of murder. Her trial is set to be heard in ten days. There is gossip among the legal community concerning the ambiguity of the evidence and eyewitness accounts.

    Magistrate: Shannon D'Arneau

    Accused: "Meadow"
    Prosecutor: Ravos Calchais
    Defense: Salin Ashald

    As you likely already know, Peltarch's Magistrates have broad powers of inquisition, and can call witnesses on their own, as can the Prosecutor and Defense. If you have something to say, you may want to attend.

    This ruling will comprise the latest case in Peltarch's growing jurisprudence.

    [OOC: Trial date set for Saturday at 11:00 AM eastern time, pending any unforeseen changes.]

  • I am delayed by 1 hour. The trial will take place at ten minutes past noon.



  • 11:00 AM tomorrow.



  • Inquisitor Merlon files the charges with the M. D'arneau, as well as Salin Ashald.

    Inquisitor Merlon requests confirmation of receipt from Salin Ashald.

    No additional charges may be brought up at the hearing after filing.

    The charges are, per prosecutor Calchais:

    "One of the following, in the alternative, or 'assault with a deadly weapon.'

    1.01: Premeditated Murder - Plotting and executing a plan to kill a person is a violation of the law.

    1.02: Non-Premeditated Murder - Killing a person without premeditation but with intent to kill is a violation of the law.

    1.04: Involuntary Murder - Killing a person by inflicting harm upon them, without intent to kill, is a violation of the law.

    1.09: Assault - Intentionally harming another person is a violation of the law."
