Revisiting ze Krawn z. Stafyr; Reason over Rage

 

 

6th of Tov and Yermey, 347 E.S.

 

---

 

After the conclusion of the recent court case, Crown v. Stafyr, there has been incessant and incompetent claims made by ignorant and half-witted simpletons that are either unable to grasp the crux of the case, or that never attended the case and only intend on attempting to discredit an institution that has sought to allow the rule of law to reign without respect to personal interest. In this paper, Jovenaar Gynsburg and I will attempt to clarify the legal workings of the case so that those that are ignorant to the law, or just plain witless, may understand why the ruling was proper and why justice was served.

 

First, on the charge of defamation, Lord Hektor of House Stafyr admitted on the stand that he did make statements that were inflammatory and false to discredit and harm the reputation of the Lord Marshall and members of the Haeseni Royal Army (H.R.A.) because he was blinded by rage after their respective arguments, which later led to his arrest and call to stand trial. If his confession, through admission of remorse and shame on the stand, was not damning enough; the testimony of Lieutenant Astoro Jovanovsk further proved that Lord Stafyr did in fact spread lies about the Lord Marshall and members of the H.R.A, referring to them as undead and undead sympathizers because he did not like the Crown's decision to remove the aurum lines placed around the city,  There is no question that Lord Stafyr was guilty of Defamation, for any man who would argue that the decision of the court was wrong or unjust, does not have good cognitive judgement or ability to reason.

 

Secondly, on the charge of sedition. This charge has been disputed and claimed by dimwitted cretins to be the crime that Lord Stafyr was found guilty on "for giving an opinion." Lord Stafyr was found guilty on the count of sedition for multiple reasons, not for having independent thought or opinions, but for demonstrating clear negligence to his oath, duty, and obligation to the Crown and the nation. He must be held to a higher standard. Firstly, as a peer of Haense, Lord Stafyr has many prerogatives exclusively entitled to himself at his disposal to express his opinions in the proper way and through the proper channels, like the right to have a private meeting with the Crown and by virtue of his seat in the Royal Duma. There he could convey what his defense labeled as "simply opining" without presenting conflicting conduct unbecoming of his station. Through his outrageous actions, he violated a sacred bond between a peer and the Crown. Not only were his actions found to be reckless, they presented compromising impact on the nation's security. Any complaint of killing him for an opinion is not founded in any logical process of though.

 

Now, onto the actual charge. Lord Stafyr was found guilty of sedition, a treasonous offence, because of his inciting of violent sentiment with his inflammatory language and outright dissent to follow the commands and orders of the H.R.A. and the Crown. Some may argue that precedent was set that intent no longer matters, but the court argues that precedent was set against questioning the Crown authority, which was often ignored and treaded upon by our previous engagements that we were subject to. The court would also argue that precedent was set that inflammatory and outright rebellious language against the Crown and his governmental institutions will be punished harshly and severely, in accordance with the severe crime. This sentence is not only not unique, but is persistently found in every legal code throughout human history. There are proper ways to voice opposition, criticisms, and disagreements, none of which include harassing the Crown's army, and disobeying orders by the Crown or his government.

 

The ruling served by the court is in accordance with the crimes committed, and is in no way barbaric or wrong. To criticize law and order, tough judgement, and to label it as barbaric would be the same as labeling GOD and the Exalted Owyn barbaric for the fiery judgement imposed on those would deny GOD and live in heresy and sin. Severity of the punishment will always match the severity of the crime. The questioning of the court's judgement is fair and it is within your ability, just as it is within our ability to defend our decisions and to share the actual facts of the case. It is equally abhorrent and ridiculous that outsiders and foreigners would attempt to criticize the decisions and integrity of an independent judicial system.

 would nod in agreement upon reading the missive, a glass of wine in hand as she relaxed within the confines of her cottage home. 

 

"Well spoken. GOD bless the HRA!"

[MikoMonster 1396]

Eleanora Mannox, the prosecutor of the case, nods along as she reads. "Law and Order will prevail. My many thanks to the Jovenaar for explaining to these fools the difference between treason and opinion." The folds the paper up, setting it on the rickety kitchen table of her family's shabby home. She proceeds to weep over the inability for her to change both font and text color in responses.

Major Erik Othaman simply shook his head as he read the explanation on the controversial ruling. His eyes scanned over the pages as he called to mind past incidents during his years as a Royal and Imperial soldier.

"Having served as a soldier to the Royal and Imperial crown for 46 long and arduous years, yam have seen many things that would be considered 'treason' and 'sedition'. The assassination attempts on his Royal Majesty, Sigismund II, and his Imperial Majesty, Peter III are treason. There were those who created full organized terrorist cells across humanity. These cells would openly declare their hatred for order and attempt to topple our organized systems in the Imperium and the Kingdom of Haense. Those who actively fight to destroy our way of life and take to the sword and torch in order to meet these ends are the true traitors."

"In my 46 years of service, never once have yam seen people executed in Haense or the Empire for simply speaking their minds and expressing what they truly believe in. How many of those 'ignorant' and 'half-witted' people have walked into the middle of Helena and shout profanities against the ISA only to be held down and summarily executed? Maybe in the 1600s but nie as far as yam have been alive. A true soldier takes 'slander' and empty insults with pride and continue with vy day. A butcher stops to impale them upon a pike in front of the masses."

"The argument established by those who seek lighter sentencing of Lord Stafyr is nie the fact that he did nie say those insults. What they are arguing is the fact that those petty insults are held to the same standard as those who seek to burn out cities, stomp out our way of life, and murder our leaders. Do vy nie see the difference in intensity between these two situations? Instead of solving it peacefully or giving him a simple fine for disturbing the peace, vy make the despotic decision that he is niet longer fit for life. All over an empty insult made in anger from a man who wishes to keep his home free of Daemons."

"Perhaps it is nie us who are 'ignorant'..."

The Aged Commissar inhales deeply as he sets himself down back as his seat, clasping his hands together in prayer.
 

"Saint Karl Barbanov... yam call for vy help once more. Align vy ancestors once more and save the Kingdom from itself."

"Amen."

"there be a reason Othaman's were removed from Haense, ironic tha' they think their opinions in a foreign land mean somethin'. How abou' the ISA members who attack acolytes of priests, or their failed judicial system tha' lets the murderer of the pontiff get off free, the only tyranny in humanity is tha' of the empire who starts endless wars, and who harasses their own citizens and their own vassals, even killing off their own vassals like Curon. Ah pray tha' the ancestors o' Haense don't look to see wha' a previsouly prestigious house like othaman has become. maybe instead o' focusin' on Haense, ye should focus inwards a' the issues tha' have plagued the rotten Empire for so long."

"Funny enough, was it also nie vy people who spread the false narrative that yam 'left' on my own accord and betrayed my people? Now it seems vy finally admit that yam was removed from Haense. And it is also ironic that the reason yam was removed from Haense (which vy failed to disclose here) is because yam expressed MY opinion on the tactics employed to defend MY Kingdom from the Scyflings."

 

"A man punished for trying to save his home."

 

"See a pattern here?"

 

"So live in vy capsule of lies and continue to believe that vy are in the right by massacring those who seek only to help vy Kingdom. As my papej, Duke Tarcell Othaman of Valles, discloses in the Othamanic Doctrine that the HRA still follows to this day:"

"Be calm, strong, polite, and resolute. Show valor in the field and chivalry at home."

 

[TheNunnery 1853]

 

Theodosiya Vyronov sighed at the drama and disputes in her homeland. The young maiden simply read over a book near the warm fireplace in Astfield, she'd then take a small sip of the wine glass filled with Carrion Black.

 

Leana Codeila wrote more notes into her studies of the current political climate of Haense. The d'Emyth then took a slight sigh as she'd rub her forehead, the madame then went back to her studies and note writing, being slightly stressed out.
