History Characters / TrialAndError

* CloudCuckooLander: She's eccentric and acts fairly airheaded and oblivious, but it could just be an act to turn away suspicion.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Chides Anne and Dwayne for chanting "Murderboard! Murderboard!" every time it gets brought out, but eventually comes around to it, even using it as a motivator [[spoiler: even after the trial is over]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted, in an unusual way in the fact that he's ''incredibly'' biased in towards Lavinia. The whole town loves Lavinia, even Judge Kamiltow. In his very first scene, at Lavinia's suggestion, he sets bail at $10, and then ''pays it himself''.
