Turnabout Wildgame

Trial

Mankind first made weapons to hunt for food. However, as the years came to pass and civilization developed, weapons became more and more dangerous. Wars ravaged the earth, and man began hunting other men. That day was no different… the defendant had hunted his first prey.

Trial, Day 1 (Start of Proceedings)

Trial, Day 1 (Detective)

Zvarri!

Luke Atmey is called to the stand. He demonstrates his ace detective skills to the court. It impresses the Co-Judge, but not Judgatholor.
The prosecution watch from their bench, vaguely amused.

Word count: 31
Testimony: The Hunt
- Atmey was called at 4:45 PM, and arrived on-scene at 5:45 PM.
- The only thing damaged was the body, with no signs of a struggle.
- The defendant was locked in his own room afterward.
- The victim planned the meeting between himself and the defendant.
- Both the defendant and the victim brought a shotgun, the DX-9 and DX-7, respectively.
- Personal weapons are supposed to be stored in the armory with ID.
- You must ask the supervisor for permission to retrieve a personal weapon, and only one personal weapon can be withdrawn by a person at a time.
- The armory requires a handprint scan to enter, and the supervisor watches over to make sure nothing happens.
Co-Judge collapses from car-crash-related injuries. Concern is only shown by Judgatholor, who immediately asks the court for their souls. Skye and Atmey turn down his offer.

Cross-Examination: The Hunt

Q: What did you do to stop tampering while you were getting to the crime scene?
A: Richard Wellington was instructed to secure the perimeter, which the detective later confirmed had been carried out.

Q: Did the defendant open his door when you arrived?
A: Yes, after the detective coaxed him out.

Q: Did the defendant and the victim ever actually go hunting, or leave the cabin?
A: They did not hunt, but they had been in and out of the cabin.

Q: Is the victim's shotgun unremarkable?
A: Yes.
Q: Did it remain in the armory?
A: Yes, the entire day.

Q: Is ammo stored with the weapons in the armory?
A: Yes.
Q: Does the customer have to bring their own ammo?
A: Yes.

Q: Is the letter that was on the victim's body authentic?
A: Yes, as verified by Dr. Vanessa Valorhart from the LAPD.

This letter's veracity was verifiably verified by a verified professional, who verified it.
Verifiably valid. The veracity of this document is unquestionable.
So says Dr. Vanessa Valorhart, the department's verific--
Q: When was the DX-9 taken from the armory?
A: Around 3PM, according to the supervisor.
The defense ends its cross-examination. The detective solicits investigation requests; the defense tells him to leave so she doesn't miss her dinner with Jay-Z.
The Co-Judge un-collapses, but now lacks blood. He requests that the detective gets him a snack. The detective promises to get swiss rolls from the lobby vending machine. The Co-Judge re-collapses.
The prosecution remarks on the mood of the court amongst themselves. The Co-Judge breaches this privacy and reads Skye's mind anyway.

Trial, Day 1 (Witness #1)

The Exact Right Amount of Fun

The prosecution calls Richard Wellington to the stand. He is the defendant's apprentice.
The judges really want to assume the witness is a murderer or gravedigger, but somehow aren't doing so maliciously.

Word count: 31
Testimony: The Horror of Weapons
- The witness was told to step out of the cabin so the defendant and the victim could have a private conversation.
- He heard two gunshots from inside the cabin.
- He ran back into the cabin and saw the defendant on his left.
- A shotgun was on the floor in front of the defendant. The victim was on the other side of the room, covered in blood.
- He ran to the main hunting ground, where he called the police and carried out the detective's instructions.
The witness sexually harasses the defense; the Co-Judge calls for the witness's execution after the trial, which Judgatholor shoots down.

Word count: 99
Cross-Examination: The Horror of Weapons

Q: Between leaving and re-entering, did the defendant and victim move anywhere in the room?
A: The witness claims he doesn't remember.
OBJECTION!
The witness swiftly admits to his hair not turning grey. The defense calls for the verdict, which the judge almost gives before being cut off by the prosecution.
Though the witness claims to have heard two gunshots, the defense shows that the murder weapon only had one shot fired from it.
The prosecution interjects, introducing a second gun discovered by LAPD forensics over the course of the trial.
The gun is a pistol that belongs to the hunting ground supervisor, Damon Gant.
It was discovered on the scene hours before the trial.
It has also only fired a single shot.
The fingerprints on the gun have been wiped off.
The shot was fired within 5 to 20 meters of the target.
The witness states that the second shot sounded similar to the first shot, and that the two happened within a moment of each other. Both shots were from inside the cabin.
The defense argues that the presence of a second gun shows the presence of a third party, but the prosecution pushes back by arguing that the second gun could've possibly been stored outside of the armory, based on the police report. ~~The defense then shoots the prosecution with the murder weapon.~~ This is immediately disproved, as the bullet struck a bulletproof vest worn by Damon Gant.
The prosecution argues that the defendant used both guns, which the defense cites the timing of the shots against. The prosecution further tries to argue that the defendant was dual-wielding the guns, but the shotgun requires two hands to hold and operate.
The defendant joins the defense at the bench to discuss proceedings with her.
The witness is generally outraged at the timing of the discovery of the second gun, but calms down and immediately pivots to hitting on the counsels again. The prosecution plots to kill the men in the courtroom later.
The witness states his proclivity toward the judge's title. The Co-Judge tells him to die in a fire. The prosecution makes snarky remarks amongst themselves.
