Circumstantial holistic

Silently they compiled the evidence against him. Due process required that it be ennumerated for consideration.

Exhibit one: the wrapper from a cornish pasty that could not be satisfactorily explained in the circumstances.

Exhibit two: the smell of his green coat.

Exhibit three: a single natural meteorite from a radiant estimated to be close to Arcturus.

Exhibit four: five synthetic satellites that appeared temporarily, curiously reflecting moonlight rather than sunlight and thus appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

Exhibit five: a snuffling hedgehog, behind the gunnera, that went unchallenged by dark.

Exhibit six: a single copy of Aeschylus, discarded carelessly in the wrong room.

Exhibit seven: a number of items, related to the completion of several given tasks, that were conspicuous by their absence. This exhibit: a sort of negative evidence, if you will.

Exhibit eight: it was suggested by interested parties in the neighbourhood that he had an unhealthy interest in the suspended mathematical properties of the tango.

In the balance it was granted that sufficient grounds existed to justify his immediate detention, as being culpable and therefore complicit.

He was condemned to exile in Leicestershire as an act of mercy on the part of the elders, and by way of commutation by the judiciary of the originally promulgated damnati ad bestias.
