Lawsuit: In Session Marissa4 v. SplashyBoi74 [2024] DCR 42

The Plaintiff can start questioning their witness
 

Objection


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OBJECTION - BREACH OF PROCEDURE

Your Honor, it has been more than 72 hours since the plaintiff could start asking questions to their witness. This far exceeds the 24 hours allowed under Court Rule 6.6. The defense therefore requests the plaintiffs right to ask questions to their witness be forfeit and allow the defense to start questioning the witnesses. The defense also requests for any question from the plaintiff to their witness that comes after this objection to be struck.

Overruled I am going to give the Plaintiff a final 24 hours to question their witness otherwise they will be held in contempt for wasting this court's time.
 

Motion


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO RECONSIDER

The plaintiff has already exceeded the 72 hour mark. Even a 24 or even a 48 hour extension that was granted where a reason is given, would have passed already. Now the court has ultimately given the plaintiff a total of 4 full days to come up with questions for their own witness, without any explanation or reason whatsoever needed from the plaintiff. The defense would also like to point out that there are two lawyers working for the plaintiff. The defense believes this is excessive and therefore respectfully asks the Court to reconsider their original ruling.

 
1. Describe your bond with the animals. Were they more than just farm animals to you?
2. How did you feel when you discovered the animals had been killed?

5. Did this incident impact your ability to focus on daily activities or work or did it ever make you think about quitting your work
6. How do you feel knowing the Defendant intentionally killed the animals?
7. Did you name or treat any of these animals as companions rather than just farm property?
10. Do you believe the Defendant’s actions were cruel or unnecessary? How has this affected you
11. How did the loss of profit due to the murder of animals impact your emotions
 
1. Describe your bond with the animals. Were they more than just farm animals to you?
Yes they were more than just farm animals to me. I took care of them and watched them grow. i enjoyed being able to give them the freedom to roam around in their pastures. I enjoyed their company whenever i was on my farm (which is a lot of the time i'm online). I was proud that i was able to take care of them and feed them my own home-grown crops, making sure that they got the best quality of food.

2. How did you feel when you discovered the animals had been killed?
I was in shock that it had happened again. It made me sad that someone decided to enter my property just to kill these innocent animals. their lifes were taken away from them. i couldnt believe that someone decides to just kill someone elses animals for fun. what i had build up with my animals was gone. I wish i could have avoided it. They did not deserve to end like this when they should have had more time to roam around and enjoy the fresh air.

5. Did this incident impact your ability to focus on daily activities or work or did it ever make you think about quitting your work
Yes it did. I was doubting whether or not to get animals again. I do not want to fear entering my property every time, because i never know whether my animals are still there or not. I do not want to have to grief the loss of my animals every time they get killed by others. Not knowing what their end looked like is very upsetting.

6. How do you feel knowing the Defendant intentionally killed the animals?
It mostly upsets me. I do not understand why someone gets joy out of killing someone elses animals. It also makes me mad, because this is the second time the Defendant has killed my animals. I even feel regret, that i did not sue them the first time.

7. Did you name or treat any of these animals as companions rather than just farm property?
Yes, i made sure to hand feed them the best quality of food there was. I enjoyed their company whenever i was working on my farm. Even when i was working on my crops, i enjoyed hearing them and not having to feel alone.

10. Do you believe the Defendant’s actions were cruel or unnecessary? How has this affected you
Yes I believe it was both cruel or unnecessary. This was the second time this person has killed my animals. The first time I decided not to sue, as i wanted to believe that this would not happen again. But after hearing that he killed my animals again I decided to sue. I could not let this happen to my animals again. If he really needed the animal products he should have just gotten his own animals. I feel like he deliberately killed them again. Im not sure if he even did it for the products or just to hurt me. Why would someone kill other peoples' animals for fun? Why?

11. How did the loss of profit due to the murder of animals impact your emotions
I was very proud of everything i built up from the ground. having my animals killed, and thus also suffering financial damages was really upsetting. Not only was the fact that someone killed my animals upsetting, knowing that this also made it harder for me to make money. I had to get new eggs and made the decision to spend resources on making a stronger enclosure, that unfortunately also takes away some of their freedom. I am sad that i had to make that decision, as that is not something i want for my animals

Overruled as the witness has now been questioned.

The Defense can now Cross examine the witness if they please.
 
  1. Did you ever name the killed animals?
  2. If yes, did you write these names down anywhere? Did you tell them to someone?
  3. How does this “special bond” allow you to kill the animals for their products?
  4. Do you feel any remorse or distress for killing at least 218 animals in about a month?
  5. Did you ever calculate or estimate the financial loss? If yes, please give me a rough overview of how you did that?
  6. Did you ever calculate or estimate the financial resources needed to reinforce the enclosure? If yes, please give me a rough overview of how you did that?
  7. What do you mean by “quality” of the food you gave your animals?
  8. Do you need to feed animals in Minecraft or in DC for another purpose than breeding? Is this even possible?
  9. How do you “hand feed” an animal in minecraft for another purpose than breeding?
  10. “Hand feeding” implies another method of feeding. Is there another method of feeding an animal other than right clicking the animal?
  11. How did these kills by fire happen?
  12. Did you ever put the animals in a small enclosure?
  13. How did these kills by cramming happen?
  14. Do you feel any remorse or distress from the cramming kills?

NOTE: More questions may follow based on witness response.
 

Objection


IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OBJECTION - SPECULATION

Based on the submitted evidence of this case, the witness cannot know if the defendant killed the animals “for fun”. The witness even admits to not knowing the reason behind the animal kills. The defense would like to request the parts mentioning killing the animals “for fun” to be struck.

  1. No, i did not
  2. See previous reply
  3. Not sure what exactly you are referring to with ''special bond''. But killing the animals is part of my job. It isn't nice to do. But i do it knowing that i did my best to care for them.
  4. Like i said, it is part of my job. But do i enjoy it or think it's fun, no.
  5. No, i did not
  6. No, i did not, but I added 3 spruce fence gates, 143 spruce fences and 1008 jungle slabs.
  7. With the quality i mean that i know where the food is produced. All of the food i give my animals is produced on my own farm, in the open air.
  8. No you do not need to, but this is actually possible. the younger animals can be fed as well
  9. right click on the animal with the food in your hand.
  10. No there isn't, sorry for the confusion
  11. I kill my animals with an upgraded sword (that includes fire), killing animals is bad either way, but i want it to happen as quick as possible, so that they had minimal suffering. I am planning on upgrading it some more to minimize suffering.
  12. No, i did not put them in any small enclosures
  13. At one point when breeding some animals started dying because they were all following me. at that point i immediately stopped breeding them. After this happened i make sure to avoid this from happening again.
  14. Yes i do. I feel very bad that this happened and i wish i could have undone this. I did not want them to end like this. It really upset me when i saw them dying like that

Could you recheck your answers because I asked 14 questions, and I got 13 answers. Additionally some of the answers are pretty weird when paired with the question.

My apologies, i edited the post. I missed question 7. Everything should be correct now.
 
For @asexualdinosaur:
1. Do you verify that these coreprotect logs are truthful and real?
2. Did Marissa4 use or rename a nametag anywhere on the property?
 
for @Marissa4:
15. How much were you compensated by the DHS/DOJ/other government institution for each killed animal? How much was this in total?
16. Did this cover the costs you incurred? Did it cover more than these costs?
17. Since killing animals is such an unpleasant part of your job, why choose this job?
18. Did you put fire aspect on your sword so that the animal drops would be instantly cooked?
19. How much would it cost in normal operations through /find to get the resources needed to reinforce the enclosure?
20. How did you get to such a specific number of resources needed to reinforce the enclosure?
21. Is there any difference in the food that is produced on an open farm in contrast to food that is grown on a hidden farm in the city for example? Is this difference observable in any way?
22. How can you get emotional harm from financial loss if you do not know the amount that was lost?
23. Doesn't it hurt more for the animal to have to get hit multiple times while being burned alive by the enchant than to just hit the same amount of times?
 
15. I do not know where i can find this, if you can let me know i can check this
16. See previous reply
17. Because I enjoy being able to build something from scratch. I also like the plots on willow and the custom crops and foods in this server, thats why i decided to start a farm.
18. Yes
19. Atm only the jungle slabs are available through /find. these cost 0,10 per slab, so for the roof that is $100,80. For the fence and gates there is nothing for sale at this moment, so i am not able to give you a calculation on those resources
20. I counted the fence and gates added, and then multiplied the length with the width so that i knew the amount of slabs needed for the roof.
21. No, this is more for the rp aspect
22. Because i know that it slows the process at which im building up my business, and i had to get new spawn eggs again
23. I only need to hit the animal once in order for them to get killed, so no, i dont believe that makes a difference
 
For question 15, you should have gotten a dm from the "Server" bot. If that is not possible the unfine can be requested from DHS I believe.
 
Your Honor since witness Marissa4 has trouble finding information of this fact, and in the interest of time, the defense would like to submit exhibits D-043 (the photo) and D-044(the link) from the November government budget transcript. This report was released on the 8th of December and thus could not be submitted in the discovery stage.
