An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A particular subversion of a Kangaroo Court. There's a hidden malefactor; you need to draw him out, either to reveal him or to have sufficient evidence against him. One way to do this is to engage in a Decoy Trial. You initiate a false charge against a defendant you know to be innocent (whether or not you tell him ahead of time depends on the nature of the problem and the defendant). Obviously, any evidence gained from such a fake trial is very very dubious, and, in Procedurals, expect drama about whether or not it will be valid in a later, real trial. Examples of Decoy Trial include:

  • A particular subversion of a Kangaroo Court. There's a hidden malefactor; you need to draw him out, either to reveal him or to have sufficient evidence against him. One way to do this is to engage in a Decoy Trial. You initiate a false charge against a defendant you know to be innocent (whether or not you tell him ahead of time depends on the nature of the problem and the defendant). You then move forward with the sham trial, observing closely for people who are 'pushing' the case and/or evidence you know to be fake. Or you "arrest" or "convict" the "perpetrator", and watch the real bad guy come out of hiding. Obviously, any evidence gained from such a fake trial is very very dubious, and, in Procedurals, expect drama about whether or not it will be valid in a later, real trial. The "trial" need not be an actual court case; preliminary stages, such as investigation or arrest, can be faked for this purpose. Examples of Decoy Trial include:
