I would like to see a prosecutor who is ignorant of the real story.
I think that's option (1) - option (2) is for someone else to be prosecutor (Tincow is option 1 or Braden is option 3).

I agree, I think Tincow would be ideal as the prosecutor - he can bring the right degree of rigour and venom to the part. It is against Verginius's family ties and his Senate statement offering to be the defence, but that might add to the poignancy (I already have drafted an "et tu, Brutus?" statement from Publius.)

Lucjan can be both Manius and his defence lawyer.
Wonderland has just PMd me suggesting this. I think it is fine, although I do think it would be fun to hear Manius speak directly in the trial as well. I'm visualising a kind of Caligula/Hannibal Lector kind of figure - not a jibbering wreck, but a charmer who is definitely not quite right.
