14: An explanation please.

[samuraiprosecutor]

How did you all get these things into my apartment?

And in case anyone still wishes to say it, I would prefer no 'Happy Holidays' or 'Merry Christmas' or any other such nonsense. It's a relief to have this foolishness over with for another year.

I...slept well last night. It won't last, but I suppose I can enjoy it while it does.


((OOC: Since Edgeworth's not saying it [because, well, he's Edgeworth], thank you to the characters who got him presents. :D His schwag list is as follows, as far as I've seen. If anyone else got him anything feel free to comment and mention it. The fact that he got anything at all confuses him greatly.

Bourne: A selection of nice black teas
Mikaela: Gourmet dog treats for Sigi
Lisa Cuddy: A warm scarf and a book [his choice really]
Possibly something from Zelos, should I assume he got it, Yami?))

The same as any other day. Yours?

About the same.

So...

...Is there a reason we're still locking these comments? Or did you merely forget to unlock?

No...

I mean, no, I didn't forget. I just...

[attorneyatlol]

... There was something I wanted to ask you, actually.

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Which is?

[Locked] 1/2

[attorneyatlol]

What... um.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

A-about the trial. I wanted to ask you about the trial.

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...

What about the trial?

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I'll be representing the Genie.

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

All right.

...And?

[Locked] 1/2

[attorneyatlol]

And, uh...

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

... Well, first of all, did you know there was going to be a jury?

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I did. Apparently not everyone has done away with jury trials. I was going to bring it up to our 'Judge' actually. They're not exactly an unbiased group.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I'm glad we're on the same page, then. Having a jury consisting of victims is an obvious bias in the prosecution's favor... If we have to have a jury, then it needs to be balanced.

I have an idea...

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Should I be worried?

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

...do you want to hear it or not? It concerns you, too, you know.

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Then by all means, please share.

Re: [Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Right.

Anyway, there are usually 12 jurors, aren't there? They should be completely uninvolved with the case to avoid bias, but to make sure the scales aren't tipped in either direction... what do you think of each of us choosing six? If that's all right with Jordan, of course.

Re: [Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

An agreeable solution. I think I'll refresh my knowledge of jury trials, as well. It's been a long time.

[attorneyatlol]

Oh... you've done them before? I've never had the opportunity. I hear they're still in effect, but very rarely...
