Imperial Inquisition Court System 

 

 

 

Edict of Inquisition

 

Due to the Edict of Inquisition, the Solicitors and judges have been replaced with the Imperial Inquisitors.

 

 

The Rights of an Imperial Inquisitor

 

1) An Imperial Inquisitor may conduct a trial on sight for those charged with a crime under the Imperial Code.

 

2) An Imperial Inquisitor may hand out judgement and punishment to those found guilty, but may be subject to review if execution is the punishment recommended by the Inquisitor.

 

3) An Imperial Inquisitor may call upon third parties to testify or give a statement regarding an investigation. An Inquisitor may also call upon an expert for their opinion in regards to a subject.

 

4) An Imperial Inquisitor may question both the accused, victim, or witnesses to complete their investigation.

 

 

The Duties of an Imperial Inquisitor

 

1) An Imperial Inquisitor is expected to conduct a fair investigation and gather any needed evidence.

 

2) An Imperial Inquisitor is expected to uphold the law and conduct fair and proper trials in a timely manner.

 

3) An Imperial Inquisitor may have an Investigator assigned under him, it is expected that the Inquisitor trains them to be promoted to an Inquisitor once deemed viable.

 

 

The Rights of an Accused

 

1) The accused has a right to a fair and unbiased trial. An Inquisitor that was directly involved with the events of the crime may not conduct a trial with the accused and must call upon another inquisitor.

 

2) If the accused is found guilty and sentenced to death, they reserve the right to appeal the choice with the Inquisitor General or his appointed deputy.

 

3) An accused has a right to plead their case to an Imperial Inquisitor prior to judgement and sentencing. Remaining silent and refusing to give testimony is also within their rights and they cannot be compelled to do so.

 

4) An accused has a right to fair sentencing. The punishment must equal the crime.

"A true disregard to the Supreme Law of Our Realm, to the Judicial precedents established since the last century, and an insult to all the Circuit Judges and Supreme Court Justices that spent countless hours -without even getting paid, by the way- holding fair trials and respecting the due process and upholding the separation of powers and the rule of law of the Imperial State.

 

I personally hope that the Simonist Party manages to restore the Imperial Judiciary and Our Country finally gets an independent judiciary with fair and impartial Judges rather than partial Inquisitors that are directed by the executive branch." 

 

Remarked the old Minister of the Crown, Sir Charles Galbraith, from his chambers in the Viscounty of Rivia, as he took his daily medicinal pills.

Manfred lights his pipe before stoking his fire with a few more old judicial precedents "the work of bureaucrats really does make the best firewood" he'd mutter to his wife
