Can I be the defendant?
Oh wait we'll leave that for some poster from Finglas

Our man in Havana

I was the defendant in the last trial. I don't mind doing it again.

Where was the last trial? Is it locked away in "The Courtroom" somewhere?

The last trial was abandoned. Nothing happened apart from picking the players.

Apply for your part with Tom Young. We've cooked up a fairly unambitious district court case which needs:
1x judge
1x accused
2x lawyers (not exactly true to life, but what can you do)
3x civilan witnesses
3x garda witnesses

I would imagine it could take place in an hourly or two hourly slot running from a monday to a thursday. If there is enough interest and a helpful and friendly mod will open up "The Courtroom" I would imagine it could be run either next week or, more realistically 19th-22nd may.

So anyone who would like to take part should be available for most or all of this time.

I also don't know how the vbulletin system will work, people will need to be constantly refreshing their browser, and given that you have to wait 60 seconds between posts it might be very slow and tedious.

Just like a real court

I have my doubts about how this is going to run. It will take a good few people to invest a lot of time and committment, but if you guys feel you're up to it, I wish you every bit of success.

The whole thing fell through last time because the fact scenario went back a bit far. Because of various discrepancies between court rules and how any evidence will be presented here, it's not going to be like a real court.

Is this going to happen. Perhaps Tom could verify if he is considering it or Not.

Tom Young

Hear you. Just a little more coordination to happen.
