Nine hours, a chance to examine the body, and visit the relevant locations. They weren't properly visible the day prior, and if, for example, a room was completely destroyed then we simply got a few traces of it being damaged. And that's only if you were one of a few arbitrarily decided persons to arrive on the scene- everyone else saw absolutely nothing out of place.
Same on every point except that part about trace evidence. Those that we'd lost would be out in frosted caskets the day prior, but there was nothing we could do to see what had happened in any way until the trial had started the next day. All the rooms were normal and we couldn't see exactly what had happened to the bodies through the glass.
We didn't vote for individuals in our trials, so self-votes were out of the question... but abstaining definitely got people killed more than once.

It is... unsettling, to be made to sleep when you are not tired.

How was trials for you guys? I... am assuming we all had them. Nine hours, you got to check out the body, and if you didn't vote you were punished?

And yes, no self votes, no abstainee votes.
