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.

I can at least volunteer to check the men, if that's acceptable. Considering my medical experience, hopefully that would be the least... invasive option.
no subject
But who's going to check you?
no subject
Are you offering, Will?
[ And then, just to make it worse: ]
Considering we've had so many of our private affairs put to public today, I didn't think you would want any more.
no subject
AHHHH.

Fine.

If you'd like... Perhaps I could volunteer to look? It's safe to say that I wasn't involved in the murders, since I was... otherwise occupied that night. I would have no reason to lie for anyone's sake.

He carefully removes his jacket and folds it before he places it on the ground, and then takes off his shirt.]
Ta-da.
[Look, no injuries or anything???? Some scars, including a more recent-looking one, but nothing fresh.]

[Oh. Well, that takes the wind out of her sails, because she can't make fun of that. ...that looks painful.]
