Good morning, I’m Patototongo1, counsel for the Plaintiff. I’ll be asking you a few questions regarding the events and procedures relevant to this case.

First of all, Can you confirm your role within the Staff Team at the time of the events in question?

For the sake of efficiency, I’ll be presenting all of my questions in a single block below:

1. Are you familiar with the procedures used to jail and unjail players on the server?
2. Does the Staff Team utilize any plugins or automated tools to administer jail sentences?
3. To your knowledge, are these tools capable of misapplying or extending sentences beyond statutory limits?
4. Are logs or records maintained of jail sentences and the time served by players?
5. Does the Staff Team play any role in monitoring the length of time a player remains jailed?
6. In a typical case, if a player is jailed erroneously or beyond the legal sentence, what is the standard procedure for review or correction?
7. Was DocTheory’s sentence or jail duration ever brought to your or the staff team's attention prior to March 25th? If so, by who?
8. Who authorized or processed DocTheory’s release from jail on March 25th?
9. Was any internal discussion or investigation held regarding the length of DocTheory’s sentence? If so, could you share with the court what those discussions looked like?
10. To your knowledge, was the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) involved in initiating DocTheory’s jail sentence?
11. Is Exhibit D-011 accurate in stating that only the DHS Secretary can request that a player be unjailed?
12. Can you confirm whether a formal unjail request was ever received from the DHS Secretary in relation to DocTheory? If so, could you share this request with the court?
13. If such a request was never made by the DHS Secretary, on what authority or instruction was DocTheory released?
14. Would the Staff Team have released DocTheory earlier if a request from the DHS Secretary had been submitted sooner?
15. In your view, does the failure to receive such a request explain the extended duration of DocTheory’s jail time?
    
    
    
    We thank you for your time and cooperation, and respectfully reserve the right to pose follow-up questions at the discretion of the Court.​
