Please can the Prosecution and Defence prepare and submit their cases.
The process worked pretty well for the Trial of Little Nellie - so I think
we will repeat it again...
(1) The Prosecutor Makes his Case - you should construct your case from the
cards in your hand, and provide a narrative as to how these support your
case.
(2) Plea Bargaining:
(a) the Prosecutor makes his offer (which can be conditional on the
current Jury Value)
(b) the Defence accepts or rejects the offer (which can be
conditional on the Jury Value, and the value of the offer)
If the Plea is accepted, then the case will end.
There is no reason why there should not be correspondence between
the Prosecution and the Defence over this prior to the submission of orders.
Phil should submit his Prosecution Case and his Plea Bargaining offer as
soon as possible sending it by e-mail to both me and to Walt. I will work
out the Jury Value - but it would help if you can do this so all I have to
do is check your sums and correct it if incorrect!
Walt will then need to decide whether he will accept the offer. If it is
accepted, the trial is over, if not then...
(3) The Defence Makes his Case - again you should construct your case from
the cards in your hand, and provide a narrative as to how these support the
defence case.
Walt will send his case by e-mail to both Phil and to me. Again, it would be
very useful if you can work out the Jury Value as you go along.
(4) The Prosecutor may submit a Final Argument (one final card to be played)
and provide a narrative. This can be conditional on the Jury Value after the
Defence has made his case.
(5) Final Plea Bargaining Orders (as in 3, above)
Phil can then submit his Final Argument based on Walt'ss evidence - and make
a Final Plea Bargain which Walt is at liberty to accept or decline. Again
Phil should submit his Final Argument to both me and to Walt directly. Walt
will then need to decide whether he accepts it or not.
If the trial continued - i.e. the plea bargains were not accepted I will
Roll the Jury to determine the outcome of the trial.
----------
If you intend to play cards that need a dice roll and you have never used
the Dice Server before - here are some simple instructions...
Construct an e-mail with the following in the body...
#P brian@netsoc.ucd.ie
#P mike.dean@psychozine.co.uk
#S 6
#D 1
#R 1
#L 1
#C Defence calls Nice Tall Annie
The only changes you need to make to the e-mail are in respect of the "#P"
entries - make sure my e-mail is in one of them, and that of the other
person in the trial in the other. In the "#C" put a SHORT comment explaining
the purpose of the dice roll. Send the e-mail to: dice@pbm.com - wait for
the answer to come back. It isn't always immediate - so be patient!
----------
Please get going on your cases. If you have any queries about playing any of
your cards, let me know.
Can I suggest we aim to get this trial completed no later than Thursday 26th
August? I know that is pretty quick, but I am away over the bank holiday
weekend and that will be the last day I can adjudicate before the following
Monday.
Only AFTER the Go to Trial round is complete will I allocate cards etc for
Turn 08 which will be an administration round.
cheers
