BenevolentManacles 2232 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The Crown v. Carrington The Amber Cold, 1753 The opinion of the Court; Nobody can say that this case was a simple affair. Jasper Carrington was accused of murder of the High Pontiff through his own examination of the timeframes of the event and motives of the accused. Alas, the evidence presented in Court today was entirely circumstantial, as was the entire set of evidence the Solicitor-General collected. None of the collected evidence definitely proved that Jasper Carrington killed the High Pontiff, and therefore, the Court has no choice but to acquit the accused of the crime of murder. Rupert of Adria’s admission of guilt in murdering the High Pontiff in no way had a sway in the Court’s decision to release Jasper Carrington, and therefore, should evidence come to light that proves his guilt, the Court shall see to another trial on the matter with such evidence presented. Some would say that sentencing Rupert to death could have potentially been the killing of an innocent man, but no man who has the gall to admit to such a heinous crime deserves to live. For Jasper’s disrespect for authority and the Church, escape from prison, carousing with his elven wife, and general debauchery, he received his punishments. The Court is aware of evidence that potentially damages Rupert’s story of how he killed the High Pontiff, but maintains that such evidence does not prove definitively that Jasper killed the High Pontiff. The Court finds that Boniface of Belvitz’ behavior during the court and after to be dangerously close to the incitation of unrest, and reminds Boniface that representing the Ministry of GOD is to represent grace, benevolence and mercy. Running around the city square shouting that the Emperor’s justice and the Court’s justice are false and demanding that Jasper be treated as an assassin of the High Pontiff is plain and simple, terrible and short sighted behavior, along with being illegal. Should any witnesses or evidence come forward that alters the landscape of the accusations against Jasper, they should be presented to the Court for consideration of a retrial. In summary; Rupert of Adria is condemned to die for admission to murdering the High Pontiff. Jasper Carrington is fined 10,000 minas for escaping lawful imprisonment. Jasper Carrington is forced into military discipline in the form of a penal billet within the Imperial State Army for a period of four years for his unlawful union with an elf, general debauchery and defiance of the authority of the Church and the Imperial State. Boniface of Belvitz is found in contempt of court. Sir John d’Arkent, KCHE Baron of Selm, Duke of Sunholdt Justice of the Supreme Court Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterblood 11181 Share Posted February 4, 2020 In the northern lands of Hanseti-Ruska, a young princess named Alexandria Karina sits within the confines of her room in the royal palace. Carefully and slowly, the young girl of five years writes into a journal of the events that transpired that evening, wishing to begin a tradition of documenting her experiences. She was unsure of what to think of her first visit to the Imperial Capital, to be truthful. Either way, she ended the night with prayers for guidance and protection for her family from GOD after a hectic day.

John Ivory 4547 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Deep within Novellen Palace, the Duke Helena reclines within his chambers. He is pensive, his eyes showing notable strain, the day’s proceedings having sorely tired him. With inspired zeal he rises from his bed, pushing into the parlor. He sits himself down at the table and sets pen to paper, beginning a reflection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonAulus 2082 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Rupert dies at the hands of the Emperor. Fitting he should be convicted in the court building of his construction and murdered in the square of his design. His last thought would drift to the Golden City as he remembers it. Perhaps that is what the Seven Skies looks like those who experienced its glory. Carry on Carrion.
