Meesei waited patiently as the letters were being read, watching the crowd to judge their reactions. For this aspect of her case, Meesei had rather conclusive evidence. Three letters penned by Jerrick's hand, which were confirmed to be true by some of the most trusted individuals in the clan, demonstrated rather directly that Meesei was not to blame for his death. Indeed, they also showed that both Jerrick and Hircine had trusted her with the responsibility of determining the identity of the traitor. Overall, they strongly reinforced her credibility, so if Harriet attempted personal attacks against Meesei herself, they could even reduce Harriet's own credibility. 

Once Meesei had again been given the floor to speak, she moved on quickly to her next point. Now that she had established her own credibility, she planned to lay out directly of what she was accusing Harriet, then focus on proving it. "First, I would like to lay out exactly of what crime Harriet is being accused. My assertion is that Jerrick was slain through poison, administered through his waterskin. The poison was applied to his water during a meeting on the day of the murder, shortly after my pack's arrival. Harriet was the only one of the lieutenants with an opportunity to apply this poison, as she was left alone with his waterskin after he had forgotten it in the meeting room, and there is no evidence for any other opportunity later in the day for Jerrick's waterskin to have been poisoned without his knowledge. As for proving these accusations accusations, I will begin with the evidence that narrows the timeframe in which Jerrick could have been poisoned. One of my pack members, though young, has trained in alchemy for most of her life, and the clan's own head alchemist, Carana has taken part in most tests performed on the waterskin. They were able to confirm that there was indeed a poison present in the waterskin, and in two separate tests, showed how long it would have taken for the poison to kill. Since we know exactly when Jerrick died, we can use that information to tell when he must have ingested it. I would like for Carana and Sabine, as well as all of the witnesses to the second test on the poison, to step forward."

Meesei waited a moment as all of the people she had requested moved to the center of the room. Just as with all of the witnesses, she had informed them all beforehand that they would be speaking at the trial. "Carana, Sabine, please describe what you have learned about the poison, how your tests work, and what they have concluded."
