REQUEST FOR APPEAL

 

Submitted on behalf of the Appellant by Christiansen-Wick Solicitors

THE ESTATE OF THE LATE ROBERT VYRONOV,

REPRESENTED BY CHRISTIANSEN-WICK SOLICITORS,

REQUESTING AN APPEAL ON THE VERDICT RULED BY THE MOST ESTEEMED TOBIAS MERENTEL IN THE TRIAL OF THE CROWN v. VYRONOV,

 

ON THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS:

• On the basis of the facts of the case per the Judiciary Act of 1740;
• On the basis of a mistrial per the Judiciary Act of 1740.

 

IN CONSIDERATION OF:

• On the basis of the facts of the case:
  • The Appellant submits that the learned trial judge erred in finding the Appellant guilty;
  • The Appellant submits that the Prosecution failed to sufficiently establish the Appellant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt;
  • The Appellant submits that each piece of evidence cited before the learned trial judge fails to conclusively establish the Appellant’s guilt;
    • The Testimony of ‘Malo’: The witness was not present during the attack by their own admission and thus can only attest to the surrounding circumstances, which cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence that leaves no reasonable doubt;
    • The official investigation carried out by Joren Gant: Likewise, this investigation serves no purpose other than to cast vague, circumstantial and completely inconclusive suspicion on ALL Vyronovs involved, and not just the Appellant. The Prosecution failed to pursue these suspicions to prove the Appellant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This investigation fixates on the plausibility of bandits’ role in the death of Karl Vyronov and relies on several unreliable, misconstrued statements that serve no purpose other than questioning the bandit attack without providing any proof that the Appellant committed the crime. The report cites vague circumstances as proof that the Appellant murdered Karl Vyronov beyond a reasonable doubt, and furthermore, fails to determine to any degree why the Appellant was the culprit rather than any other kin or personnel present at the time. The Court is most assured that the Appellant had ample evidence and arguments to disregard the entirety of Joren Gant’s report, which it looks forward to articulating before the Supreme Court;
    • While the above report and testimony, which utterly lack compelling value that the Appellant committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, the Court is most assured that any and all other cited evidence can be likewise dismissed as insufficient to convict the Appellant on the charge of murder.
• On the basis of a mistrial:
  • The Appellant respectfully submits that the learned trial judge erred in law in stripping the Appellant of his titles. I beg to refer to CH202.02 of the Lex Criminalis, Oren Revised Code, which provides that conviction of murder constitutes a felony.
  • I beg to refer to the CH201.043 of the Lex Criminalis, Oren Revised Code, which provides:
    • “Felonies, of great severity, include the appropriated sentences: monetary fine up to fifty thousand mina, disbarring from public office for up to a lifetime, confinement to prison for up to a lifetime, banishment up to a lifetime, conscription up to a lifetime, designated service to faith up to a lifetime, flogging up to sixty lashes, birching up to sixty lashes, pillory up to three hours, branding by hot iron on a limb, chest, buttocks, or face, execution by hanging.”
  • The Appellant respectfully submits that the learned trial judge erroneously acted outside his jurisdiction by stripping the Appellant of their titles, a punishment that is not mandated for a felony conviction;
  • The Appellant acknowledges that the Crown v. Vyronov predates the Oren Revised Code, however submits that the learned trial judge still acted beyond his jurisdiction in accordance with proper law at the time;
  • I beg to refer to Section 2.2 of the Ten Tables of the Imperial Book of Law, providing that a conviction of murder shall constitute a felony.
  • I beg to refer to Section 1.4.3 of the Ten Tables of the Imperial Book of Law, providing:
    • “Felonies, of great severity, include the appropriated sentences: monetary fine up to fifty thousand mina, confinement to prison for up to lifetime, designated service to state or faith up to lifetime, removal of up to an entire hand, removal of the entire bottom jaw, removal of both eyes, removal of the penis if male, removal of an entire foot, removal of both ears if elven, removal of both tusks if orcish, removal of the beard is dwarven, removal of the tail if feline, branding by hot iron on a limb, chest, buttocks, or face, execution by hanging, or execution by beheading.”
  • The Appellant further submits that the learned trial judge erred in failing to specify the degree of the felony conviction, an act which wrongfully allows a judge far greater sentencing powers than intended by the Oren Revised Code. 
  • In light of the above, the Appellant respectfully concludes that the learned trial judge drastically violated his sentencing powers in stripping the Appellant of his titles and failing to specify the degree of the conviction.
• On prior appeal: The Appellant acknowledges the prior appeal of this case, but submit that this secondary appeal should be submitted in light of exceptional circumstances, those being:
  • The Court permitted the Appellant an additional 48 Saint’s hours to resubmit the appeal, however the Appellant fell critically ill during this time, and died of his illness within this time. His deteriorating health rendered him unable to comply with the Court’s gracious grant of an additional appeal period. A representative of the late Robert Vyronov’s estate was only made aware of the potential ability to re-appeal in these circumstances after meeting Konstantin Wick.
• Given the above and the drastic, consequential nature of the sentencing that stands to affect those of the Appellant’s family, innocents by all accounts, for generations, the Court is asked on this occasion to consider the content of this appeal and allow it to proceed to the Supreme Court in the interests of justice. To deny this appeal would be to condone a blatant abuse of judicial sentencing powers and reduce the threshold for the heinous charge of murder to mere circumstantial suspicions, which would sow gross injustice in our legal system. 

 

IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH;

• Overturn the erroneous verdict of the esteemed Tobias Merentel and exonerate the late Robert Vyronov;
• Revocation of the judicial request that House Vyronov be stripped by the erroneous ruling and sentencing to the Appellant, that being, and subject to the consent of the crown of Hanseti-Ruska;
  • The Barony of Rytsburg;
  • The County of Graiswald;
• The Appellant does not seek the restoration of the Ducal title of Carnatia at this time.

 

AND THEREFORE HOPES TO RESTORE JUSTICE IN THE AFOREMENTIONED PROCEDURE.

 

YOURS HUMBLY,

The Estate of the late Robert Vyronov,

A Haeseni woman is elated upon attending to ever-stirring rumors corresponding to the appeal, content to see the reemergence of the respectable Vyronov ilk – even if the legal jargon prompted in her a burgeoning headache.  

[Drew2_dude 2636]

“How ironic, ah always hoped Tha’ the blood o’ these vyronov was Tha’ of Karl’s, seems it’s Tha’ of the coward kinslayer Robert who was so weak he couldn’t even live to be executed.” Sigmar Baruch would frown seeing his dear friend drug through the mud again after he was killed by his brothers.

Stefan Vyronov scratches his head.

“Uhm.. okay then.”

“If I am not mistaken from the notes from the trial on both of my cousins, Karl and Robert, that you were there to witness Karl torture Pierre a Footman to our Brotherhood of Saint Karl. Yet it seems from the notes that Robert spoke out of hiding in Karl’s shadow unlike you, the man who was afraid. Also, if I am not mistaken it was Karl that denied a duel with Vladrick Alimar, who was known for being a great swordsmen, yet Ser Robert stepped up for his older brother to duel the legendary swordsman.”

“Wha’ an insolen’ boy! exactly why ye’ll never get anywhere in life! Malo, as he liked to be called, was a guard who willingly an’ loyally protected the memory and life o’ Karl. Karl was a better man than ye’ll ever be! ye talk abou’ hidin’ in the shadows, yer the only one doin’ tha’! hidin’ in the shadows o’ the great Vyronov Patriarchs like Lerald an’ Karl, yer the furthest thing from ‘em! don’t speak o’ things ye know nothin’ abou’! Sigmar Baruch would huff!

“From Marjoie Vyronov now Baruch and Robert’s report on the Malo situation it appears that he was beatened down to like the name Malo as he lost a piece of his ear by Karl, beaten till he bled, and from what Marjorie said, he was a monster. His sister and my cousin, Marjorie, told me what Karl was like and she also mentioned that he abused her. Now for whose a better man between this Karl and I it appears that I am indeed a far better of a man than him. Vyronov shall continue to grow and as long as the name Vyronov lives on it shall continue to do so whether Baruchs like it or not. Lastly, the only people that I hear that speaks good about this Karl is you and you only.” Stefan Vyronov smirked as he’d went to take care of his kids.

Marjorie Vyronov smiled faintly upon seeing her kin’s attempt to revive her family’s legacy. The now aged woman recollected fondly upon her memories of the past, particularly those of her father, her sister, Katharina, along with her brothers, Jan and Robert. She also recalled the horrid memories of the neverending abuse she received from her brother Karl, and witnessing the transformation of the free man named Pierre, to the slave named Malo.

A response will come for the legal representatives bearing the seal of the Supreme Court.

 

Sir,

 

The Supreme Court has voted, and accept your appeal for the review of sentencing. We will move forward with determinations on whether a trial is necessary to make a ruling, and will call you and your team should we decide such.

 

Chief Justice,

Sir John d’Arkent, KCHE
