Maybe, or maybe not.

I'll leave you to decide. Now, it's off the the beach with me. I'm very sad to miss the rest of the day's procedings, and my probable sentencing to death. Yes, I know, I'm horribly pessimistic.

O untimely death, death!

I seem to have struck a nerve on this one. I'm not sure what to make of this approach to a defense. I was really hoping for an explination as to why she made such a drastic change. What I get is a "tragic" bemoaning of her woeful fate. It seems to me that in the absence of a good defense Durelin choose to take the "poor me" approach, appealing to our sympathy. I find it hard to give any when two innocents have been slaughtered by wolves and one has been killed by us. With four wolves on the prowl we need to bag one today to even out the odds. With this response from Durelin I'm becoming greatly more suspicious of her.

As for Nilp/Adam. I understand your problems and all. What I would ask is when you do have that limited time...please post something of substance. You could very well be innocent but without something to base that on I fear that we are assuming guilty.

If my timeline is correct we still have about 7 hours to go before our deadline. I will wait a little while to see if my mind changes but right now I think I am going to be voting Durelin.
