PLOT ROLL CALL

If you have

• a character who witnessed an attack, or were themselves attacked by Rose during her temporary Loss
  
• a character who is supernatural in origin (vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, etc.) to act as judge/jury for the case
  
• a character who likes rubbernecking courtroom drama
  
  

then this plot is for you!



Cole's calling for a trial for Rose's Loss-induced attacks on the populace. This will probably take place in a few weeks depending on when it's convenient for Rose's mun and everyone else involved, (I'll update this!) If you sign up in this post assume Cole sent your character a judicial summons, which will mention specifically their expected role depending on what it is you want your character to be. (Though not obviously if they're on the defense team or witnesses for the defense).

We'll need 12 jury members and 1 judge, however many witnesses were present and want to testify (either for the defense or the prosecution), and if anyone wants to volunteer to be Rose's defense lawyer / team, etc.

Despite that Cole can be a bastard, he'll be playing it by the book and pushing for a verdict of aggravated assault against Rose. Rose's mun has said that she wants Rose to be acquitted and that's how the trial will go, but even if you think your character would vote guilty on the jury feel free to volunteer them, I'm told that Paradisa has no legal system (but that Iron Man's mun Paulie is working on setting one up?), so in lieu of anything else I'm assuming the jury can go as low as 9-3 not-guilty without a mistrial.

Also if I make any mistakes or if any of this is untrue for any reason, please tell me. I'm not a lawyer myself, I only play one on tv.

I can offer up Angel for a vampiric member of the jury ... but he will think this whole thing is ridiculous--possibly be very vocal about as much, and vote not guilty because she was under the influence of the castle and not in control of herself at the time.

XD That's probably why Rose will end up being acquitted! Although she might get a few jury members vote guilty. Especially if Cole tries to prove it wasn't a Loss, or tries to cast doubt on same.

Thank you for volunteering. :3

Cole will be able to use Damon's post as evidence in this. Damon many times denied that it was a loss and mentioned to people (idk if all of the mentions were under filters or not but I can check if you want me to) that it was a werewolf bite that poisoned her and turend her into essentially a rabid animal. :3

I was just thinking the journals in Paradisa would be a prosecution team's wetdream--like a super-accurate, super-damning Facebook.

That would be helpful, yes, thank you!

This thread with Eleven says "it's happened before" and "there's no going back to how she normally is." It also implies Damon's intent to take drastic measures over it and can lead to that line of questioning.

Threadjacking, addressing both Cole and Damon

Nosy Marian read that with interest and had it in mind while arguing with Damon (http://paradisa.livejournal.com/13066925.html?thread=769724589#t769724589) - loved that exchange! :-D She'd be rather interested in bringing up issues like that in the courtroom... Would that be OK?

[partlyhuman.livejournal.com]

That would be something to go over with the defense, since they're the ones that'll be directly examining the witnesses for Rose's plea of not guilty! :3 I hope that helps.

[compels]

Sure! She can bring it up, just know that since it's filtered there won't be hard evidence of it.

That is actually incredibly helpful, thank you so much! If Damon didn't have a reason to think Cole was an asshole before, just wait
