Official: The Court: ABC vs INN

[Whaleboy]

Understood, however, we shall be calling witnesses later

[Archaic]

Hmmm.....on further consideration and advice from Network Laywers, we may have witnesses to call later on. Do you have any objections to us holding off on that until later?

[Whaleboy]

Not at all, but we are still getting ours together, we will need to go last, as is the convention with defence.

OOC: How is the witnesses thing going to work?

[Drogue]

Archaic: That is fine. Call them whenever you wish in your prosecution. Next piece of evidence or witness is able to be called when you wish.

Elijah: About witnesses, it will be much the same as evidence, one post to present the witness and ask one or many questions. Then one post for the witness to answer them. Then another post if you wish to ask any more questions, etc. until you have asked all you want, then the opposition gets to do exactly the same to cross.

Same rules apply as in a court of law (in almost any country) which means that the person calling the witness may not lead them, you must let them tell it, for instance you could not say "Did you see the defendant killing such and such on xxx date?", your would have to ask "What did you see on xxx date?", whereas the counter can lead. You can object at any time, by putting "objection" as the post title, and then writing what you object to.

I will write a court FAQ with the judges when I have time. I will be lenient in what I allow, since neither of you (IIRC) are actually lawyers IRL, but please do not put words in the mouth of the witness, else I will have to strike it from the record.
