VO: "Jon Snow pledged himself to the Night's Watch where he rose to the position of Lord Commander, but he was murdered by his fellow Night Watchmen. After being resurrected by Lady Melisandre, he hung those responsible for his death, then he declared his watch to be over and left Castle Black."
The back door opens, and Judge Judy walks out.
Bailiff: "All rise for the honorable Maegestrate Judy."
Judy: "Ok, ok, sit down, sit down, we've got a lot to go through. Cryer, would you please?"
Cryer: "IN THE NAME OF HIS HOLY GRACE KING TOMMEN BARATHEON, FIRST OF HIS NAME, KING OF THE ANDALS AND THE FIRST MEN, LORD OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, LORD OF STORMS END, LORD PARAMOUNT OF THE STORMLANDS, AND FIRST REGENT AND HIGH PROTECTOR OF THE FAITH...THIS COURT IS NOW IN SESSION."
Judy: "Sweet Tywin's ghost that's a mouthful. You're Jon Snow?"
Jon: "Yes mahm."
Judy: "Hmph. And you, Grand Maester Pycelle, you're here to represent The Crown for this case."
Pycelle: "Y-yes, your honor."
Judy: "That was not a question. Ok Jon Snow, so I read the brief. You join the Night's Watch...you do some special ops, yada yada yada you end up Lord Commander. You go to Hardhome, and then come back to the wall with thousands of wildlings. Tell me what happened next."
Jon: "As you said, we came back from Hardhome after being attacked by wights and--"
Judy: "Whites? What whites?"
Jon: "Wights, your honor. The corpses of the dead who come back to life to attack the living."
Judy: "...what?"
Jon: "They seem to--"
Judy: "No, no I heard you. Pycelle. Is that a thing?"
Pycelle: "Y-your honor, there have been many legends and tales, but nothing has been confirmed by the Citadel."
Jon: "Maester Aemon must have told you, he should be in Oldtown by now. he c--"
Pycelle: "Maester Aemon is dead. The Citadel mourns his passing, as does The Crown and all the realm."
Jon: "..."
Judy: "Ok. Real or not, you come back to the wall with thousands of wildlings. Then what?"
Jon: "Ser Alliser Thorne opened the gate and let us in."
Pycelle: "My goodness."
Judy: "Quiet. Go on."
Jon: "Then the next night, they told me my Uncle Benjen had come back. He's been missing for years. So I ran to the stables, but he wasn't there. Just a sign that said 'traitor'. I turn around and they stabbed me."
Pycelle: "Hmmm."
Judy: "Quiet, I said. They stabbed you. And killed you?"
Jon: "Yes, mahm. Your honor."
Judy: "Lift up your shirt, let me see. ... Yikes. That'd do it."
Pycelle: "Recovery from such wounds would be impossible. Unholy."
Jon: "I agree. I fell into the snow, the world went black. Then I woke up inside and it was 3 days later. They said Lady Melisandre--"
Pycelle: "Heretic!"
Judy: "Maester Pycelle, for the last time, be quiet. Go on."
Jon: "They said she brought me back. With magic."
Judy takes a deep breath through her nose, lets out of her mouth in a puff.
Judy: "So then what?"
Jon: "I hung those men who stabbed me. Those who turned on their Lord Commander. Everything I ever did was to protect the realm, and they killed me for it. So I left."
