People Vs. Torkalen - Maelein
_______________________
The inaugural case brought before The Peoples Court was, case #001, The
People Vrs. Torkalen. Melenn, a stunning defense lawyer, bravely defended
Torkalen in what was an uphill battle for her all the way. Torkalen, as
normal was stunk of goat which he tried to mask with an even more
grotesque smelling cologne. As Maelein, the judge, prosecutor, and jury
called court to order, it seemed to dawn on Melenn and Torkalen that they
were not going to walk out of the courtroom with a victory.
Melenn called for a mistrial based on the fact that Maelein would be judge
and jury, but Maelein overruled her protest arguing that Torkalens
inappropriate relationships with goats had gone on far too long unpunished.
Unfortunately for both Melenn and Torkalen, a goat that spoke perfect
Theran was called to the stand. As Melenn asked the goat questions, it
became more and more clear that some sort of improper actions had been
taken by Torkalen.
The goat was confused, scared, and walking funny. As the goat was starting
to really open up and fill in the details to the story, Torkalen kept pointing
his smiting finger, as he called it. Maelein believed the finger to be
threatening to the goat in other ways than simply the lightening that came
from it, so she warned Torkalen that if he made another such outburst he
would be instantly found guilty and punished to the fullest. This silenced the
bird long enough for Melenn to finish her questioning and return to her seat.
Now it was the prosecutions turn to question the goat. Maelein went straight
to the heart of the matter and asked the goat the most important question.
Has Torkalen ever forced you, or your friends have inappropriate relations
with him. The goat still scared from the image of the brown stained finger
previously pointed at him simply nodded his head yes. Torkalen and Melenn
both enraged began shouting across the courtroom. It was at this point that
Maelein returned from the courtroom floor to the judges tower to render
both a judgment and a sentencing.
The decision was that since a group of twelve goats all stated that Torkalen
had violated the civil and sexual rights of the goats and should therefore be
punished for such. His continuing to violate the rules of the courtroom also
led to a judgment of Contempt of Court was placed along with his crimes.
Maelein thought long and hard about the sentencing of Torkalen making
sure that precedent was set, but she also did not want to be to hard seeing as
how after all he was a Bird Brain.
A total of forty hours community service along with twenty poem readings
and reviews was the sentencing for the sexual indiscretions. On top of that,
Torkalen was also made responsible for the building of a Private Judges
Chambers paid for by Torkalen and built in his own time. So ruled the
people in the Case #001 The People Vrs. Torkalen, convicted.
Case #001 CLOSED
