The Great Trial of 2010

The Great Trial of 2010 (Jenni v. Madison) was a legal case between Madison and the admins of Animal Luvers/Animal Scouts. It was planned to take place on either 9/11/10 or 9/18/10. Madison was being charged with a potential ban from Animal Luvers for violating it's rules. It was officially called off on 9/23/10 in a group email sent by Iyana.

Complaint
Jenni and Iyana accused Madison of using strikingly similar website features on her website, The Kids Rule Club, as they used in their own websites. Such as using the same website builder as Animal Scouts (Weebly), having the same types of pages and at one point allegedly using the exact same background as one of their websites. This among other things caused them to give her "warnings" or "strikes" on her Animal Luvers account. Iyana states in a private message to Ashley:"'The thing is, every animal scouts club member has 3 warnings. If you lose one you are banned for a week, you lose2 your banned for a month, three and your banned forever. madison lost all five of hers. Yesh five warnings! We gave her grace and she lost it. So id madison wins this trial she stays in the club. If not then shes out forver.'"According to Jenni, Madison was temporarily banned but eventually got access to her account again.

Lawyers and Judge
Based on Iyana's rules, each party could have one lawyer and two witnesses, although she only suggested one. Clients were encouraged to talk to their lawyers in the Animal Luvers chat room and discuss evidence and such before the court date.

The trial was set to have Ashley represent Jenni as the plaintiff and Hannah to represent Madison as the defendant.

Iyana was supposed to select the Judge. She said that she found two possibilities but never stated who they were.

Cancellation
The email "Trail is over -_-" was sent out from Iyana to Jenni, Ashley, Madison and Hannah on September 23rd 2010. The opening statement read:"'Okay ppls trial is canceled. Which means its up to jenni and me to decide who stays in the club. The trial was supposed to give each side a chance to tell their stories. Sadly one of us made me cancel it. But on the bright side ppl will finally stop sending me those annoying emails-hehe.""So since we cant do the trial me and jenni will just go ahead and choose if they stay in the club or get banned-fairly.'"Ultimately, Madison was not banned from Animal Luvers and remained a member of the club. A public apology or forgiveness was never made from either party.
