JUDGMENT by Judge Average787enjoyer

[1] The Prosecution provided evidence of multiple everyone pings by the Defendant which were independently verified, happening one right after the other.

[2] The Defense argued that the defendant did not have Everyone permissions and that the actions in question were done in jest.

[3] The court notes that according to SD v Mooklyn [2021] Crim 4, jest is not a defense.

[4] The court rejects the defense's argument that the Defendant had no knowledge of the everyone ping ability, as a reasonable person would have checked the easily accessible permissions in the server settings before performing such a risky act.

[5] The court finds the Defendant guilty on all counts and sentences them to a 3 week mute.
