I'm not buying into the randomness of the verdict. It must be determined somehow. Working hypothesis is: it's like the Affinity mechanics. First the decision maker is down right against Fournival, but after few "gifts" the Affinity rises.

So far I've checked two things:

- simply handing over a single petition in favor (Geffrey's). The verdict was guilty. So that'd be not enough gifts.

- I also handed all four petitons in favor. Not-guilty. If this can be reproduced reliably (on separate playthroughs) we'd know at least that a witness' testimony isn't necessary.
