Gale was mostly silent during the prosecution. He didn't like to attend this kind of event, and he would've remained absent if they didn't need his statement. Well, they could've gone on without him, too. Nothing would change the verdict.
However, being a new denizen of Wayshire, he tried to be civic for a change.
The way of prosecution here was a bit different. The captain of the enforcer acted as both the judge and executioner, though there should be some formal courts in better towns and cities.
Anyway, Gale only opened his mouth when he was asked in the witness box, though it was hardly recognised as a witness box. He just had to stand on the podium occupied by the judge, enforcers, and all the convicted.
Gale could detect boring hatred in the eyes of some convicts. Mostly from the young ones, while the old few already gave up and made peace with it. Such was the life of bandits.
