===== Trial Provision II ===== TRIAL DATE AND JURY SELECTION ***************************** Trial Date Selection ******************** The Defense must meet with the Judge and Prosecution to schedule a date for the trial. The Defense is to name a date and time within two moons of the trial request, but no sooner than eight days from the date of the request, that is agreeable with both the Judge and the Prosecution. Should the Defense be unable to provide a date and time that is acceptable to all parties, they must accept a date as prescribed by a Judge. Trial Absence ************* If the accused fails to be present during their trial without prior notice and acceptable reason, the Judge must dissolve the court and the accused will be found guilty of Contempt of Justice, and of the crimes which brought about the initial trial. They automatically waive their rights to a trial for the combination of these crimes as well. A grace period of two hours ((15 minutes)) following the scheduled time of the trial will be given for the accused to arrive. Should the prosecution fail to arrive, and no assistants or replacements can take over the case, a grace period of two hours ((15 minutes)) following the scheduled time of the trial will be given until the trial is placed on hold, and scheduled for another day. It is the responsibility of both the Prosecution and Defense to bring their respective witnesses to the trial. Disclosure of Evidence Prior to a Trial *************************************** All evidence being used by the defense and prosecution must be provided to the Judge at least sixteen days ((2 days)) prior to the trial, who will then disclose all evidence to both sides at least eight days ((1 day)) prior to the trial. The evidence must also include a list of all witnesses that either side will question. No evidence or witness may be presented in court unless the opposing side has been notified in this manner. Jury Selection ************** The jury will be selected by the Judge at the time of the Trial. A qualified juror is an aisling who has attained at least the eleventh insight and is a Mileth citizen. The juror must have not been arrested or jailed within the last Deoch, nor may they have been arrested or jailed more than twice. A minimum of seven jurors are to be chosen, but no more than eleven. Each juror must not be connected to the prosecution, defense, or Judge in any way that may place them in a position of bias. Should the Judge be unable to find seven qualified jurors, or should a juror fall asleep during the trial so as to bring the number of jurors down below five without replacements on hand, the Judge must reschedule the trial. The defense and the prosecution may each deny jurors before the trial if they provide a valid reason to suspect that a juror is biased.
