Lawsuit: In Session The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct., 2026)

IN THE MAGISTRATES COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
ENTREATY OF PROMPTING
ENTREATY OF STRIKING

Your Honor,

To my knowledge, responses to responses are not standard in this Court. I respectfully request clarification as to whether I may file a response to the Defendant's submission (#120), or alternatively, that the Defendant's submission be struck.

Respectfully Submitted,

Soggeh T. Oast
Minister of Justice
Kingdom of Alexandria
 
Your Honor,

No part of the General Court Rules and Procedures prohibits clarifying responses. Furthermore#120 Was submitted within 24-hour timeframe of the originating questions #117, and should, if necessary, be read as an amendment to the original objection, as is permitted under the guiding principles of the Courts of Alexandria. The defense is permitted to issue objections (plural) within 24 hours. Our response to the crown's response fits within the 24 hours and should count as a second and continuation of our original objection, or if the court may insist, count as a second objection.

"Witness Testimony, Cross Examination, Writs & Objections: 24 hours"

Respectfully Submitted,

RULING ON OBJECTION AND ENTREATIES
​
Before any rulings are made, the Court would like to make some clarifications. The fact that something is not expressly forbidden under our rules and procedures, does not mean that it is thus allowed and appropriate. The Court will make it clear to all parties when the case progresses, and when a filing is expected of them. Beyond this, the parties to the case are allowed to file objections and entreaties in line with our court rules and procedures. When a party files an objection or entreaty, other parties are allowed one response to this. Responses to responses are not appropriate. Any further inappropriate fillings that are not in line with our court rules and procedures will not be tolerated and will result in being held in contempt.

That being said, the Court, having considered filings #118, #119, #120, #121, and #122, rules as follows:

Objection - Relevancy (#118)
Overruled. It is not clear to the Court what exactly the Defendant is intending to object to. In #120 the Defendant states that "Our objection is not to the existence of the questions themselves, nor the answer, but to their potential use beyond permissible scope." The Court will not, and does not see how it could, preemptively grant an objection to something that may potentially happen in the future. Applying the relevancy objection to the matter quoted in #118, the Court still overrules this objection. It has been made clear by the Prosecution that their purpose of these questions is to establish the background and credibility of the witness. The Court finds this relevant.

Entreaty of Prompting (#121)
Denied. As the original objection has been overruled, the Court does not see a reason to allow the Prosecution a further response with regard to this matter.

Entreaty of Striking (#121)
Denied. The Court sees no reason to strike the filing in question at this time, as the original objection has been overruled.


So ordered,

ENTREATY OF PROMPTING

Your Honor, several objections from the Defense are still pending a ruling from this Court. (See The Crown v. Thritystone, Case 3 (Mag. Ct. 2026) #111). This trial cannot proceed without a ruling on these objections. The questions may need to be rephrased, then they must be answered by the witness. The trial must eventually proceed to cross-examination and closing statements.

When should the parties to this case expect a ruling on the Defense's objections?

Respectfully submitted,
Capt11543
Crown Counsel

RULING ON OBJECTIONS
​
This Court, having taken into account the objections filed by Defendant in #111 and the responses from Prosecution to these objections filed in #112, rules as follows:

Objection 1 — Failure to Disclose (ConsequencesInc, Q8)
Overruled. Prosecution has provided a witness list in their Complaint which included witness ConsequencesInc. In doing so, the Prosecution has disclosed that ConsequencesInc may be called as a witness to this trial, and may be allowed to testify. In other words, Prosecution has properly disclosed ConsequencesInc's testimony as evidence. This indeed does not mean that the witness may freely produce other evidence beyond their testimony in front of this Court. However, this has not happened. The question stands and the witness is allowed to respond to this question.

Objection 2 — Relevance (ConsequencesInc, Q9)
Overruled.

Objection 3 — Calls for Speculation (ConsequencesInc, Q10)
Sustained. This question is not aimed at the witness's direct observations or experiences but instead asks the witness to speculate about the reliability of certain methods.

Objection 4 — Calls for Legal Opinion (ConsequencesInc, Q11)
Sustained. This question is overly broad. The witness is currently testifying as a lay witness, which limits testimony of opinion to those opinions which are helpful to clearly understanding the witness's testimony or to determine a fact in issue, naturally based on the witness's perception, and not based on specialized knowledge. A.P. 01-008 Art. 11.1.a.ii.

Accordingly,
Questions 10 and 11 asked by the Prosecution to witness ConsequencesInc shall be struck.

So ordered,
Magistrate Gribble19​
