"Thank you." Meesei began as she flipped open her one of her journals to the page of notes. She had spent considerable time planning out her case for this trial, so she now had multiple books filled with her plans and evidence, so despite the sheer stress of this situation, for both sides, she did not hesitate in delivering her opening. "To begin, I would like to establish the circumstances surrounding Jerrick's murder. On the day myself and my pack arrived here, Jerrick had been expecting me, as he had received a vision from our lord Hircine. In this vision, he was warned that, on the day of my arrival, he would be killed by one of his lieutenants, though it did not show him which one. As those who were present may recall, Jerrick pulled me aside after I finished telling the story of my pack's fight against Vile's Orc in the dining hall on the day of our arrival. It was at that point that he informed me of his vision and requested my aid in bringing his murderer to justice."

Currently, Meesei was focusing on establishing her own credibility for the case, after which she would delve into proving Harriet's connection to the murder. Her case would take a while to present, but she had to make sure to be thorough. Other than deciding Harriet's guilt or innocence, the purpose of this trial was to prevent the clan from falling into violence, so Meesei could not leave any room for the clan to believe that she had committed the crime, instead of Harriet. "Of course, I did attempt to prevent his murder to begin with." Meesei continued. "We did not want to force the traitor into hiding, so we planned an ambush to catch the traitor before the murder could take place. Myself and one of my pack hid away in the meeting room to wait for a potential attack, and as a precaution against poison, Jerrick did not eat nor drink for the rest of the day. However, we did not anticipate that the poison was already within him, delivered through his waterskin before he pulled me aside to speak to me. I will give evidence for that point shortly; first, I would like to provide evidence for my statements thusfar. In the event that we failed to protect him, Jerrick wrote letters to individuals he deemed trustworthy, and neutral between the lieutenants. These letters described what I just explained, as well as containing a personal anecdote specific to each recipient to prove that the letter could have come from no one but Jerrick himself. Examples of those who received those letters are Gorlak, Caldris, and of course, Najirra. Could you verify that what I have said so far regarding the events leading up to Jerrick's murder are true?" Meesei asked, focusing more on Gorlak and Caldris. After considerable thought, Meesei had decided that it was necessary to involve Gorlak and Caldris in the trial, and had warned them of such beforehand. She had advised them to bring the letters with them, and though they did not necessarily have to share the details of the anecdote contained within the letters, they could if they chose to.
