"The bench thanks the prosecution for their opening statement and calls on the defence for their rebuttal", the Clerk said solemnly, only acutely aware that the hawk-like eyes of Judge Churcher behind him were fixed on Toller, particularly after he declined to rebut previously. But Toller raised and spent the next 15 minutes vigerously defending the former Prime Minister, adamant that Conternian justice would bring his Conternian crimes to justice, and that what he did as Head of Government, while illegal in Conternian law, was necessary in international conflict.
Once Toller had seated, and was thanked for his contribution, the next case was called. One that a lot of people, including the world's media, were waiting for, and one of the earliest hot button ones: TRC-A-03, Lauchenoiria et al v. Kerlile.
"I believe the plantiff from Lauchenoiria will be taking this for all three aggrieved parties, as it has been bundled, correct? The plantiff may begin", the Clerk pronounced.
