Week 4 - Trial
Week 4: Trial
It's dawn when the Sergeant calls everyone to the courtroom. Despite the early hour, the tribunes of the room are as full as the last two times, sleepy townspeople glaring and looking at the visitors with distrust. The Sergeant told everyone to get to their spots. Anyone who looks behind them, will see the bailiffs carrying Sting Eucliffe away, who is trying to resist them but doesn't seem to have enough strength to do that well.
There are more podiums draped in black now. Clarisse, Eric Lecarde, and Jughead Jones have joined the dead, and their podiums look lonely without their occupants.
With a twirl of the gavel, the Sergeant recites:
He takes a PDA out of his pocket, and holds it in the air. The PDA's text-to-voice software says: 'Forsythe'
Once everyone had a moment to see the faces in the photos, the Sergeant adds:
Let the trial begin.
"Don't worry about him. That guy ate a lot of ice and frost for reasons I don't understand, and now he has a very bad cold. I don't want him making everyone in this room sick, so he's excused. No, that's not a hint all of you should get sick to avoid these trials."

"...Pendleton Jones the Third. The circumstances need no introduction, we all are aware of them. Here are your suspects"
Once everyone had a moment to see the faces in the photos, the Sergeant adds:
"By the way, there are two separate culprits today. Yes, two of these five people directly caused Jughead's death. When it's time to vote, remember to vote for two different people."
[Welcome to the trial! Please remember to cast your votes here!. Your deadline is 8:00 PM EST. Good luck!]

[Kino really has to puzzle this one out.]
If it was poisoning, I think... I would want to see if anyone could treat it first. I'm not an expert on medical treatment, but this country has advanced medicines. There could have been hope for him.
If he were bleeding out too quickly, or had other visible injuries that would have made it hard to transport him to the hospital and survive... Maybe then.

Sorry for the interrogation. Just - you being up there kind of sticks out to me, like I said before, so I wanted to be be thorough.

It doesn't mean much because I'm a suspect, but... I would personally like to find the culprits behind this. I enjoyed talking with Jughead.
He didn't deserve to die like this.
