Patres conscripti (and Cleopatra),
Based on the precedent of the Bona Dea scandal (a trial in which Cicero crushed that scam, Clodius, as you all remember), the trial of Marc Antony will be conducted by the Senate. Dolabella is responsible for bringing forth the charges and proposing a penalty.
All Senators are required to voice their opinion on the issue. Should they wish to pose questions to the defendant, he has the right to respond however he wishes, i.e. either on the spot or after each speech.
