The day of the trial had finally arrived. The courtroom was filled with people from all walks of life, all eager to witness the trial of the Time Thief. The magistrate had been chosen for his fairness and impartiality, and he had assembled a jury of twelve citizens to hear the case.
The prosecutor was the first to speak, outlining the evidence against the accused. He presented the testimony of the witnesses, the evidence of the stolen time, and the testimony of the experts who had studied the case. The prosecutor argued that the accused had stolen time from the people of 238BC and that he should be held accountable for his actions.
The defense attorney then took the floor. He argued that the accused had not stolen time, but had merely borrowed it. He argued that the accused had not intended to cause any harm, and that the people of 238BC had not suffered any losses as a result of the accused's actions.
The jury deliberated for several hours before returning a verdict of guilty. The accused was sentenced to a term of imprisonment and a hefty fine.
The people of 238BC were relieved that justice had been served. The Time Thief had been brought to justice and the people of 238BC could now rest easy knowing that their time was safe.
