Acquital of Dammong Marali

...Given the lack of evidence, inconsistent testimony, and what I can only assume to be either staggering corruption or incomprehensible incompetence of the Mercantile Guild of Port Nidiw, it should come as no surprise, then, that Dammong Marali was acquitted of all charges during the Summer of 012 BDU, just as he had in the previous three trials, and would continue to for the next 7, although this was arguably the most egregious of them, including the death of the heir of House Laccone, amongst numerous lesser crimes. To this day, Dammong Marali holds the record for the most unique criminal charges ever brought to bear against a single individual in the Olutus kingdom, though only overall, as the simultaneous record has been broken upon every single regime change in the Olutus Kingdom history.

This series of what can only be called the set of the worst miscarriages of justice in the history of the Olutus Kingdom would have only two bright spots: as the perfect case studies for future generations of lawyers and lawmakers to dissect to understand how not to act in a rational, ethical manner, and as the final straw to break the vile Heonsk Doctrine that had stifled true progress for so long under the guise of "Protecting Our Values".

If nothing else, these travesties of court proceedings at least revealed exactly whose "values" that crippling tradition was protecting.
