The Trial of Elazar

BE IT KNOWN that on February 11, 2004, at 7:03 AM GMT, Citizen Elazar was Arrested by Policeman Banzai for brewing Hooch, a crime under the Eighteenth Amendment. Elazar possessed Hooch at the time of his Arrest, as court records will show.

Under the law of Trials, Elazar was put in Jail for 24 hours and given the opportunity to appoint a Defense Lawyer. Elazar has declined to appoint such a Lawyer. During Elazar's term in Jail, Satyr Eyes did reveal himself to be the bearer of the Identity of Policeman Banzai, and in the absence of an acceptance of Satyr Eyes' plaint from Citizen Kevan, did appoint himself as Prosecuting Lawyer.

24 hours have now expired, and the trial of Elazar has proceeded. In the absence of a Defense Lawyer, the Defense Status is equal to the Defendant's Status, namely 80. The Prosecuting Status is equal to the Arresting Cop's Status plus half the Prosecuting Lawyer's Status. Both are Satyr Eyes, and as Satyr Eyes does have a Status of 191, the Prosecuting Status is 191 + 191/2 = 286.5. The results of the trial are as such:
Insofar as the Defense Status is less than 110% of the Prosecuting Status, Elazar is hereby convicted under the Law of Trials and is made a Prisoner. Insofar as Satyr Eyes is the Arresting Cop and the Proposal "All in a Day's Work" has Passed, Satyr Eyes gains 5 Status. Insofar as Satyr Eyes is the Prosecuting Lawyer, Satyr Eyes gains 10 Status.
Whosoever takes issue with any detail of this trial should post a Call for Judgment at their leisure. Long live the Blog.
