BARON CONVICTED…

It started as just another day in Ghul Federal Prison but, Friday 21st March 2008, for Baron DeSantis the day was going to turn out as anything but normal.
Sitting in the exercise yard, he was quietly reading one of his many books on law when the prison Investigator, Vince Beardmore, approached him. Baron looked up and smiled when he saw Vince. The smile was wiped from his face when he was told that the day of judgement had arrived.
“DeSantis, stand up and turn around, Judge wants you in the court.NOW” Vince stated.
Manacles were placed on Baron’s hands, which had been moved behind him. A chain was attached to his ‘confinement collar’ and he was taken out of the yard. The other prisoners stood and watched as he was led away. Shouts of good luck echoed around the otherwise silent courtyard.

What follows is the actual transcript from the trial. Due to the horrific nature of his crimes, certain portions have been removed . What remains, however, is the exact record of the proceedings.
It should be noted that the judge thought it prudent NOT to appear in the courtroom itself. Instead he conducted the proceeding by video/audio link from his chambers. This may be because of the Baron’s renowned volatile temperament and the shocking nature of his crimes. Standing upright and facing where the judge would have been sitting, he had an almost arrogant stance. The investigator to one side, chain still attached, waiting to pounce on him if he got out of line.

[9:57] BD: Oh man..
[9:57] Aldwulf Siemens: take him away officer
[9:57] Vince Beardmore: yes sir
[9:57] Vince Beardmore: come Baron

At this point DeSantis was led away, to be taken back to his cell, still manacled and stunned at the savage sentence. Even Governor Hird was shocked at the lengthy term, so much so that he immediately changed all the mattresses for fresh ones. Well we must congratulate the authorities for apprehending what is now obviously a dangerous criminal. Perhaps he will repent at his leisure while he spends the next 90 days, studying law inside Ghul Federal Prison. A copy of the killer’s confession can be obtained from Baron DeSantis (convict) but it does not make for pretty reading I can assure you.

Footnote: If, at some future point, evidence is found relating to the 5th case then he will be tried for that in addition to present term. Any information you may have regarding this mysterious alleged murder, should be addressed to Vince Beardmore (Investigator for Ghul Federal Prison)
