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'm sorry, man. I need to ask some more questions about this. So you brought the injection back on Thursday night and gave it to yourself sometime between ten and eleven. Right? Did you take the whole dosage?
no subject
I found out... Monday night I could get the medicine that could help me sleep from the clinic, so . . . After that, I took several dosages so I don't have to keep going back. I just keep it in my room. [ But yeah! ] I did take the whole dosage on thursday night, though.

But you still had extra in your room so you wouldn't have to go back. You didn't notice any of your extra missing, did you? [Look, the room doors don't lock until midnight, he has a point with this.]
no subject
Yeah, I did. I still do. [ THEEEN... He shakes his head. ] None of it is missing . . . I haven't told anyone about the medicine I've been taking until today, so no one would've known unless they saw me..?
So... No one took medicine from me. [ Also they aren't even toxins so this can apply to Lust's murder? ]

Okay. In the next couple of weeks though just keep track of that sort of thing really closely, all right? Especially now that people know.
