Judge: Holt, you are here today facing charges related to smuggling activities. You have the right to remain silent, but if you choose to speak, your words will be recorded and may be used against you. Do you understand?
Holt: Yeah, yeah, I understand. Ain't got nothin' to hide. Let's get on with it.
Judge: Very well. Prosecutor, you may proceed with your questioning.
Prosecutor: Holt, on the day in question, you were heard yelling at your gang members regarding smuggling techniques. Can you confirm that?
Holt: Yeah, I was mad, alright? We were losing too many goods to them guards. I needed to set things straight.
Prosecutor: And what precisely were you instructing your gang members to do?
Holt: Look, it's simple. I told 'em to be more discreet, find new hiding spots, use decoys, anything to get past them blasted guards. They were getting too sloppy, and we were paying the price.
Prosecutor: So, you were actively encouraging your gang members to engage in illegal smuggling activities?
Holt: Hey, we gotta survive somehow, right? These guards, they ain't making it easy. I was just trying to make sure we got our fair share.
Prosecutor: Fair share? Holt, smuggling is a crime, and you were exacerbating the situation by instructing your gang to become more skilled at evading the law.
Holt: Yeah, well, survival ain't always about playing by the rules, is it? These guards, they don't care about us Orcs. They make it harder for us to get by every day. We gotta be smarter, faster, or we'll starve.
Prosecutor: Holt, regardless of the challenges you face, resorting to criminal activities is not the solution. There are lawful means to address grievances and improve your situation.
Holt: Lawful means? Tell that to the guards who shake us down for every coin we earn. Tell that to the merchants who won't hire us 'cause we're Orcs. I'm just trying to level the playing field, even if it means bending the rules a bit.
Prosecutor: Holt, the courtroom is not the place to debate the injustices of society. We are here to determine your guilt or innocence based on the charges brought against you. Your actions, as recorded in this yelling fit, demonstrate a clear intent to commit smuggling and evade the law.
Holt: You can say what you want, but I stand by what I said. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my own.
Judge: Holt, please remember that this court proceeding is not the appropriate platform for such debates. I advise you to consult with your attorney regarding your defense. We will reconvene at a later date for further proceedings.
