Judge Overseeing Proceedings
In an extraordinary turn of events, a courtroom in the city was filled with an unexpected blend of law and music last week. The accused, who faced seven assault charges, was found innocent after a dramatic trial that included a magistrate singing in the courtroom.
The victim in this case was a busker, a street performer who had become a professional musician and used his platform to fund music awareness programs for the disabled. On the night in question, it was the busker who was allegedly assaulted on Main Street.
The defence council maintained that the accused did not intend to harm anyone, claiming that the behaviour of several young hooligans had triggered the incident. The defence also plans to present footage to the court showing the accused being robbed by the alleged victims.
The accused stood silently as personal references were made on his behalf, highlighting his good character and contributions to the community. The courtroom erupted in people singing as the busker was found innocent, and tears were shed by the busker himself.
The magistrate, in a surprising move, stood up and sang a song titled "Time for the Guilty to Face the Music." This is not a historically established practice in courtrooms, with no documented instances of presiding magistrates playing music during official courtroom proceedings. However, modern judges may play music recreationally or for public outreach, such as the Minnesota all-judge band.
Despite the prosecution's continued attempts to harass and add insult to the accused, the jury was given ten minutes to make their decision. The court overruled an objection, allowing footage of the accused being assaulted to be played.
In the end, justice was served, and the guilty parties were sentenced to work as volunteers in a city soup kitchen. The busker, now a free man, went on to continue his music career, using his platform to inspire and help others.

- The unexpected music in the courtroom last week, originating from the magistrate's singing, was not a traditional practice, unlike modern judges playing music recreationally or for public outreach, as seen in the Minnesota all-judge band.
- To the dismay of the prosecution, the courtroom erupted in song when the busker, the victim of the assault charges, was found innocent, mirroring the use of music in courtroom television shows for broadcast production, rather than being part of the actual judicial process.
