Calm your tits, everyone.
Seriously, you're making a huge fuss about a game, both sides of the coin.
As I said, you can either decide you want this trial to be something much more a fun RP, and do it in an organized manner. The whole point of this trial, as I understand it, is to change the outcome of roleplay consequences that happened in response to in-game roleplay or at the very least - attempt to.
OR you can decide that since the result is already predetermined by your view and just do a "w00t w00t" all around. I should remind, again, that this trial is done in order to PREVENT a past predetermined result.
Roleplaying consequences are part of this game, if you don't like it - don't play with anyone who might enforce those on you. Roleplay consequences come in all shapes and sizes - from SRP on the bright positive one to FR5 on the bad one (or good, again depending on your view. Most of my characters who had been FR5ed were a good call IMO since it was the natural development of that character's RP).
I will finish with saying the same thing I've said in the past - you want it to be a serious RP of a trial in a manner of "State of Liberty against the Junker Congress" and have the ability to alter the consequences that were made in response to Junker roleplay - then act like it. Both of you.
One account on each side makes the posting and others are only allowed to post once after being specifically summoned to the thread in both inRP and right after an ooRP clarification of the username allowed to post. Not allowed? Enjoy your moderator infused temp ban for metagaming (hijacking a thread), and your post invis'ed, with both sides prematurely agreeing to ignore your post anyway.
You don't want it the trial to actually do something other than postpone the past consequences that were made by LibGov to a later date? Then by all means continue to have robots, Mexican stand-offs, and random Libertonian walking into the courtroom in attempt to score a kill or w/e.
You can take my words and do something with them, you can ignore them, and you can continue to rant about how I am wrong and should stop roleplaying since I clearly don't get how it's done. It's all up to you and what you do with the opportunity that is given here to all sides involved for some brilliant roleplay scene. Enjoy.
