Trial and Tribulations

"Trial and Tribulations" is a primary quest in Dragon's Dogma.

You must secure and provide evidence to either condemn or release Fournival from the charges he faces.

Guilty Verdict
Finding Fournival guilty is extremely easy and can happen even if you turn in only evidence which shows him as well... guilty.

This is the easiest route to take during this quest, but is not recommended. You can easily prove him to be guilty by acquiring Jasper, Sara, as well as Pip's condemnation.

Innocent Verdict
Having Fournival declared not guilty, however, is more difficult. His innocence has unique rewards such as the Magnanimous Cloak becoming available for purchase from Fournival, and his prices on all his wares being reduced.

To find Fournival innocent you must bring no incriminating evidence. You must escort a witness for Fournival from Windbluff Tower to Gran Soren, and obtain four genuine affidavits of innocence from Fournival's daughter, Father Geffrey in the church, Fedel within the Duke's castle, and the Chamberlein's Affidavit, which is also the subject of a Noticeboard Quest, but can be forged by The Black Cat. Three forged affidavits, purchased from Reynard — who can typically be found near the Greatwall Encampment camp, in Cassardis,or in Gran Soren by the market square— can be used as well but are not necessary.

Tips
You can buy many forgery proofs from Reynard

You can use ferrystone to teleport back to gran soren with the witness from Windbluff Tower

The quest is time sensitive. You have 4 days to complete the quest before the trial begins.
