• At 5:21 p.m. on October 15, the Magistrate accepted the charges as Edward entering Nadia’s home with unwanted affection.

Kati stated that Nadia was protecting her home and person, had not invited Edward inside, objected to unwanted contact, and sought assistance when he would not leave.

OPENING OF THE DEFENSE
Person Speaking for the Defense: Jessika Roberts.
Time: October 15, 5:32–5:36 p.m. SLT.
Summary of the Defense’s Opening Statement:
Jessika denied that Edward committed the alleged offense. She asserted that Nadia invited him inside, removed his boots, attempted to seduce him, and called for guards after he mentioned a collar. She relied on his remaining calmly at the scene and Nadia standing outside with a broom. She requested Edward’s release and Nadia’s enslavement, either to Edward or a slave house.
Evidence Submitted — Identify Each Item and Its Source:
• Edward’s account, later affirmed during his testimony and quoted from Jessika’s incident report.
• Jessika was recorded preparing a scroll after the opening; its exact contents and separate admission were not identified at that point.
• Tayir’s attributed statement was quoted during Nadia’s cross-examination, then challenged. Jessika agreed to its being struck; it should not be treated as accepted testimony.
• At the final hearing, Jessika presented Edward’s boots at 9:07 a.m. The Magistrate accepted them at 9:09 a.m. and retained them after Kati’s objection at 9:13 a.m.
Plea for Mercy, if Made:

CLOSING STATEMENTS — SUPPLEMENTAL RECORD
Lady Kati Evans: October 27, 9:15–9:19 a.m. SLT.
Asked the court to assess the competing testimony, distinguish unwanted contact from physical injury, and consider the assault, battery, and collaring provisions cited. Argued that bare feet, remaining at the scene, and Nadia’s later conduct did not establish consent or prove the original complaint false. Requested that later allegations against Nadia be judged separately, with proportionate treatment and mercy.
Jessika Roberts: October 27, 9:22–9:29 a.m. SLT.
Maintained Edward’s innocence and the allegation that Nadia invited and attempted to seduce him. Used Nadia’s later alleged disobedience and bribery to challenge her credibility. Requested Edward’s release and renewed the request that he be allowed to enslave Nadia.

Decision Reached by: Magistrate.
Verdict Announced by: Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo.
Time Announced: October 27, 9:39 a.m. SLT.
Finding on Each Charge:
• Nadia’s complaint concerning entry without permission and unwanted contact: Case dismissed for lack of conclusive proof.
• Edward’s competing claim of invitation and seduction: The Magistrate clarified at 9:45 a.m. that the judgment applied to both parties and that Edward had not supplied proof of his account.
• No conviction or order enslaving Nadia resulted from this case.
• Alleged disobedience of orders to remain in Turmus: Reserved for a separate trial; no verdict rendered in this hearing.
