THE FOLLOWING CHARGES WERE BROUGHT AGAINST THE DEFENDANT;

 

404.01: An individual who intentionally inflicts bodily harm on another shall be guilty of the middling offence of assault.

 

408.01: An individual who attempts to exact tribute by threat of force shall be guilty of the severe offence of banditry.

 

419.03: The crime of harbouring or aiding a wanted fugitive, whom the offender knows or can reasonably deduce to be wanted, shall be a middling offence; 

 

THE FOLLOWING IS THE VERDICT BROUGHT BY THE JOVENAARS; 

 

The Defendant, Michael van Gelderhode, member of the Redfist Clan, is found guilty by unanimous consent of the Jovenaars on all counts. Michael van Gelderhode is to have a limb removed at the discretion of the prosecution. His associates are still wanted of their crimes in the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.

 

THE FOLLOWING IS THE RATIONALE FOR THE DECISION FROM THE PRESIDING JOVENAAR;

 

On the charge of the obstruction of justice;

Whereas the prosecution’s testimony indicated, Mister Gelderhode attempted to thwart the apprehension of Svalfi Redfist, a known member of the Redfist bandit clan. While the defendant claimed that he did not Svalfi to be killed by Mister Cedric Barclay, an HRA initiate, this act of attacking a law enforcer constitutes a clear obstruction of the king’s justice. 

 

On the charge of assault; 

Mister van Gelderhode presented a clear and present danger in stabbing Mister Cedric Barclay. Mister Barclay testified to the court that while he was seeking to apprehend Svalfi Redfist, Mister Gelderhode took a blade and thrusted it through Mister Barclay’s stomach.

 

On the charge of banditry; 

Mister Astoro Jovanovsk testified that after the incident in which Svalfi sought to bandit with the aid of Mister Gelderhode, a search party was sent by the HRA to apprehend. Their search in Norland indicated that the Norlandic government identified these men as members of an organized clan committed to banditry. A classified dossier detailing evidence through previous incidents within the Holy Orenian Empire identified these men as connected to similar events prosecuted in this case. It is the opinion of the court that Mister Gelderhode aided Svalfi Redfist and sought to neutralize Mister Cedric Barclay. 

 

It is so ordered.
