CHARGES:

202.05B - Where an individual intentionally or negligently commits such an act as to bring about the crippling disfigurement of another, or the removal of multiple digits, this shall be mayhem in the second degree, a felony. 

202.02B - Where an individual intentionally commits upon another an unlawful act of violence which brings about lasting but not permanent injury, incapacitates for any length of time, or utilizes a dangerous weapon, this shall be battery of the second degree, a misdemeanor.

 

VERDICT: 

Dame Viktoriya Tsecsar (henceforth; the defendant), is found guilty on the felony charge of mayhem in the second degree (205.05B), but found not guilty on the misdemeanor charge of battery in the second degree (202.02B) under the premise that evidence does not provide reason to believe that this act was intentional.

 

SENTENCING:

The defendant is sentenced to a fine of two-thousand marks made payable to the Imperial State and shall serve a lifetime banishment from the Empire. Should the defendant re-enter the Empire under any condition, they are subject to additional charges.

 

STATEMENT FROM THE COURT:

Circuit Judge O’Ceartas, while presiding over the case of The Crown v. Tsecsar, expressed disregard to judicial precedents. The Supreme Court ruled in The Crown v. D’Emyth & Brandt that a mistrial cannot be declared by a Circuit Justice. As such, he was replaced by Chief Justice Halcourt and a fresh trial began. All actions, judgements, or otherwise that yielded from the trial headed by Circuit Judge O’Ceartas are declared null and void.

Signed,

The Most Honorable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

Baron Olivier A. Halcourt J.D. SSE SCJ

Dame Viktoriya sits in her office, allowed some extra time to gather her belongings. Yet, she sits still. 

 

The old knight is looking down the barrel of a crossbow, her hand fastened around its handle.

"Bullshit." Edwin Henry de Sarkozy said simply in his home as to not curse in public. 

[𝖂𝖆𝖌𝖜𝖆𝖓 740]

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would refuse to comment on such a matter, simply staring at the missive placed upon his desk. He'd speak up for a moment "Interesting, to say the least." 

[Jokinghills 825]

General William Darkwood would look upon the ruling "So it is and so it shall be, fate works in mysterious ways indeed" he would note  and chuckle to himself "A departure like no other, some things are just unexpected."

[Itz_Cookie 1974]

"Oh.. poor dear." A woman sighed, frowning as she'd been informed of her friends banishment. 

[Benjikhei 698]

Beryl Jasper Carrington shakes his head as he hears the news, looking on merely as a passerby “They expel a knight of merit, despite her long tenure and her dedication to the control of magic and alchemy practice in the Empire? This will be the action that brings about change if nothing else.” He’d heave a sigh and sign the Lorraine for the woman before going back to his writing.

"An obvious attack on the honor of one of our most loyal knights has resulted in us not searching for the true culprits, but banishing and fining the woman that has dedicated her life to our Empire. Truly, the MOJ is a Ministry of Jesters," quipped Pretty Princess Helen to her tea companion (and best friend) Maisie.

"Godani be true." A boy remarked to the servant who delivered him the news, he reached over to remove the bandages from his face and replace them with newer ones. "She knew it was explosive.." He tightly grasped the old bandages in his hand as he stared outwards from a window in Valwyck. "And she still did niet admit it."

[Songwitch 1832]

"To have thought the 'Empire' of good Horen would turn against their own, despicable at its peak." Reckoned a peculiar Maiden, caressing the entirety of such a notice into her now-furled fist, before it was thus hurled away without a hint of hesitance.

[GhostSHTR 1205]

 Vladrick Bishop Pocitanata Maika would smile before turning to his friend Fathe Basil "The Witch is gone, Maybe GODANI is finally getting though to these people."

A fluttering creature chews on the missive, spitting it back out in disgust. Throwing it into the water, it went back to its cavern home.

[Minuvas 3193]

Minuvas reads the case, cradling his hands from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Whatever he feels about the decision, he lets sit in the pit of his stomach. He gently adjusts the Imperial signet he wears on his uniform, and then tucks his elven ears once more under his wig as he places his tricone hat on his head.

[Roguechaotic 264]

Aeonn would shake his head at reading the missive "The 'Grand' Empire...does always have a way of shooting itself in the foot when it comes to everything now a days...but as they say ignorance is bliss...and the ruling has plenty of it.

Maisie d’Arkent sipped her tea lightly as she listened before chiming in “Do not forgot about the musin in their rank. They do not deserve the power they so crudely slap around. The poor knight.”
