In the morning, the town comes back to life. Birds crow overhead, a snake nearby hisses, a lingering coyote dips behind a shop before disappearing into the wild. It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial.
The Sheriff stands on the porch of the Town Hall and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the Hall behind him and very clearly state --
"Trial time, folks. Get in here and figure out who did it."
And then he'll turn to leave before pausing and adding on,
"Bring a snack or somethin' too.
The Town Hall is set up more like a court house, a Judge's bench at the front but instead of at center, it's off to the side as if more for observation than participation. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. A side room containing only a metal gurney is next and today it's obvious why there's a gurney there at all with the corpse, resting right on top of it. Aside from that, there are rows for everyone to take a seat and it's only after everyone is inside and settled, that the doors close and the Sheriff speaks.
"Well, have at it. You've got till nine."
And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck.
Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here.

[her words are unusually clipped. she still mad]
Sheriff.
Did any of the Bandits this week have other roles? Or have you still avoided choosing those with roles as Bandits?
no subject
Yes, one Bandit has two roles.
no subject
Can you clarify if the Bandit who killed Russell is also the role who has been manning the stocks for the past few weeks?
no subject
No. I wouldn't pick them as a Bandit. Too much overlap.
no subject
Was it the second Coal Miner?

no subject
Can you tell us the name of the role, or would that be giving away too much information?
no subject
[ He's having a good time.
Then counting off his fingers. ]
Deputy. Doctor. Bounty. Madame and Bartender. Coal Miner.
no subject
[she can read the amusement on his face, and it stokes some the the embers of her anger from yesterday. so with that answer, she just presses her lips together tightly, turns on her heel and walks away]
no subject
Was it the Madame, or the Bounty?
