Okay, folks -- here are, at least, A, B, C, and D of the plot
  for Session 19 (Doing Time).  I'll try to provide a printout
  for the six of you (5 regulars + lease) at game time.

A: Pretrial

  Cy Rand, guardsman, and several other nameless guardsmen lead
  Sonnet down a prison hallway to the room where Dr. O. Sarich performs
  his evaluations.

  Once there, the rest of the guardsman leave, but Cyrus is left to make
  sure that Sonnet doesn't try anything on the doctor (nevermind that
  she's gonna be chained to her seat).

  Evaluation (questions, but no explanations of her circumstances,
  please) commences.

  She's then lead back to her cell, where things kinda fade to black.

B: Trial

  The players

    Alyra Watson         Lease      Advocate for the Defense
    Finn Donogan         Rob        Prosecutor
    Dr. O. Sarich        Jarrod     Psychologist, Expert
    Hon. Benedict Dorr   Scott      Lesser Judge
    Hon. Coram Rosewood  Lydia      Lesser Judge
    Rt. Hon. K. Oberon   Fred       Greater Judge

  The gist

    We fade in as Sonnet is sitting off to the side, on a small
    pedestal, chained to her seat. The Advocates stand before the
    judges; a conversation about each Advocate's position occurs,
    basically, with the designated Lesser Judges. The Greater Judge is
    (more than anything) a referee here who can make final calls.
    Questions can occasionally be directed to the accused, or to experts
    and witnesses who are also in attendance (such as Dr. Sarich).

    The Advocate for the Defense is allowed to have private
    side-conversations with the accused if requested and granted by the
    Greater Judge.

    That Sonnet committed the crimes (mass murder) is not really
    contestable; there's a mountain of physical evidence pointing to
    that. The primary point of contestation -- at this point in the
    trial -- is the question of whether or not she is 'remediably
    insane'. This society does not have quite as clear-cut an insanity
    defense; instead, if someone can be cured, the defense can work, but
    if they cannot, they can be deemed as 'too dangerous to society to
    be allowed to live', and prosecution can proceed as normal (in other
    words, it has nothing to do with whether or not the accused was able
    to distinguish between right and wrong).

    The trial should consist of some questions and answers (there's no
    first-prosecution-then-defense thing here, so the Advocates can
    speak up whenever they wish, so long as one is not shouting down the
    other). Dr. Sarich can be called forward as needed; Sonnet can be
    addressed, but is technically only allowed to speak in response to a
    question.

    Dr. Sarich should be biased towards considering Sonnet incurable,
    but however Jarrod wants to play that is his bag.

    The lesser Judges (Scott and Lydia) should feel free to ask questions
    independent of those posed by the Advocates.

    The trial should go on for a 'comfortable' length of screen-time,
    and at its greatest extent will end either with a recess being
    called, or with all questions raised and discussed, with the Judges
    recessing to arrive at a verdict. A verdict won't be delivered
    on-screen, at any rate.

    Outside of these bits of structure, feel free to make shit up.
    This is improv theatre as applied to a courtroom drama.

C: Cellblock

  This is where Sybil shows up, as Sonnet's cellmate.  Her conversations
  with Sonnet should pick up _in medias res_, as it were -- as though
  there have been plans for breaking out of jail for a while now, which
  are supposed to take their final form tonight, in a couple hours.

  For the time, though, Sybil and Sonnet get to chatter and so forth,
  so Deborah, chew your scenery and have fun with it.  

  I'll try to flexibly run with whatever elements of The Plan are
  established, but they should involve, at minimum, someone cutting
  the power at a particular time, and the help of an insider to get
  folks part of the way there (I may tap one of the other players
  to play this insider, when the time comes).

D: Jailbreak

  The Plan goes off; things will probably go awry, possibly even with
  Sybil getting gunned down.  

  This will sync up with the "real world" where Sonnet starts to have
  complications on the operating table.

  Depending on how Shai plays this, we'll see how things will progress
  from here.

  Ideally, this should conclude somewhere around half an hour before
  we intend to wrap the session, so folks, please communicate to me
  what time you need to be out the door, and I'll try to size things
  to fit.
