Epic Moments in Courtroom History
« on: July 29, 2008, 03:01:20 pm »

After a great many sieges, wherein my army of converted tanks (lost quite a few good Liberal musicians to get the first few -- seriously) and founder fought off Conservative hordes, I decided "hey, the laws are all Liberal or better at this point, so maybe I should get in some extra law practice for shits and giggles."  My founder was already an accomplished lawyer and had taught the others all he knew.

Anyway, of 34 Liberals (33 tanks :D), all but the five primary fighters (not counting my founder) got off.  Those five all got several life sentences (between 2 and 10) except one, who got something like 2192 consecutive life sentences.  All of them had 700-800 murders under their belt.

Now, I had The Trial playing from Pink Floyd's The Wall during this whole sequence.  I inadvertently timed the final trial, that of my founder, with the judge's speech at the climax of the song.  It was beautiful, given this:

(Yes, I had done my best to max all my founder's skills.)

Connor MacLeod is standing trial.

Sleeper Thomas Scardino reads the charges, trying to hide a smile:

The defendant, Judy Ramirez, is charge with
5 counts of treason, 1808 counts of murder,
3 counts of terrorism, 17 counts of kidnapping,
5 counts of aiding a prison escape,
13 counts of assault, 640 counts of carrying an illegal weapon,
51 counts of theft, 8 counts of interference with interstate commerce,
47 counts of unlawful access of an information system,
412 counts of breaking and entering, resisting arrest and
disturbing the peace.

The evidence before the court is incontrovertible.  There's no need for the jury to retire.  In all my years of judging I have never heard before of someone more deserving the full penalty of law...

GUILTY!

During sentencing, the judge grants some leniency.

Judy Ramirez, you are sentenced to 11201 consecutive life terms in prison.

EPIC!!!

How does one interfere with interstate commerce? Aside from that, massively epic.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Hacking can do several things, this among them.

Yeah.  That scare factor really hurts if you do too much.  Unfortunately, there's no way to clear your rap sheet other than the courtroom.  So think twice next time you start to rack up kills and such.  Breaking & entering and other heatless crimes don't matter, so go wild with those.  I learned near the end that my top 6 goons (founder included) had enough heat to bring the cops down on a fresh safehouse with business front in two to three weeks tops.  The constant sieges really wear on your patience after a while...

Also, losing is fun, especially when it's this ridiculous.  :)

 Judge: I grant you 11000 life sentences-
 Player: Eh, not so bad
 Judge: -On the MOON!

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
