All the important info is covered in chapters 1-3
Chapter 6
Before Leo orbed the sisters to the trial; he had some last minute instructions.
"This won't be like any other trial. You'll be allowed to hear each others testimonies; so please be careful."
Piper was more worried about Cole than what Leo was talking about.
"I hope he's okay." She whispered as Leo orbed them to the trial.
Cole was nervously pacing his cell. He had a feeling the Tribunal will find him guilty, no matter what anyone said.
When Piper saw Cole, she gasped. He was handcuffed and leg shackled.
When Cole heard her gasp, he turned around and smiled.
"All raise, Judge Timmons presiding. The trial of Cole Turner; A.K.A. Belthazor, will now come to order."
After the opening summations, Darius called his first witness.
"I call Prue Halliwell to the stand."
After prue was sworn in, Darius started questioning her
"Moss Halliwell, how do you know the accused?"
"He's my sister's boyfriend."
"How long have you known him?"
"I year."
"How did you three meet him?"
Prue looked at Piper, who just nodded her head.
"We meet him at P3. He was lost and came in, for directions."
Interesting, Darius thought to himself.
"Did you know who he was when you first met him?"
Prue was puzzled "What do you mean?"
"Did you know he was a demon when you first net him?" Darius asked.
"No, of course not."
"How did you find out?"
"Piper told us."
"What did she say?"
"One night she came home and told us her relationship was over and Cole was a demon, half demon, actually."
"How did you feel?"
"I was shocked I never would have known."
How could they not know Turner was a demon; he was sent to kill them.
"Your witness." He said to Leo.
Leo wanted to establish that even though Cole is part demon, he never hurt the sisters.
"Prue, did Cole ever hurt you or your sisters?"
"No."
"I have no further questions for this witness."
"Okay, Darius call your next witness."
"I call Susan Williams."
"Miss Williams, what do you do?"
"I'm a Whitelighter."
"How do you know the accused?"
"I met him when the Charmed Ones saved one of my charges."
"What did he do?"
"He was quiet and blended into the background. But he watched; to make sure nothing happened."
"I have no more questions." Darius said.
Judge Timmons looked at Leo.
"I have no questions."
