The Official Vote TM version:
Not Guilty
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
The "Let's go nuts! With our tinfoil hats! (because I'm dead-tired, overworked and really shouldn't be typing anything right now but aaaaaaaaaaaaa there's still SO much to do yet I MUST procrastinate)" version:
Totes Guilty!
Who cares about a petty theft, it was a full moon, the corpse was being dragged around by a supposedly innocent man who claims to hunt bears in an area where there aren't any bears to be found and there's an Eldridge horror cozying up in the well. Endre Whitemane is obviously a cultist that worships the elder gods and the dead thief was meant to be a sacrifice, but the ritual was interrupted by those unlucky repairmen. I bet they are from outside this town because the natives are all in on this too. Police doing shoddy detective work, the man undergoing trial being allowed to carry shotguns around like it's normal, the defense attorney acting like "I don't wanna talk about it" is the kind of thing that flies in a trial and the prosecution and judge playing along with it, ha! I'm onto this lot!
*eye twitches*
The other thief is dead too. Probably got eaten days ago. How about the repairmen? Are they still alive? Dead? Altered? I can see the baillif giving us dark looks when he thinks no-one's watching and townspeople are always murmuring something to each other and skulking about in the shadows. Don't think I can't see you you fuckers! You think you can get me? You think you can poison me with this pizza? I could smell the drugs in it from miles off, and I bet it's not weed!
