Arman-Saladancer trial

The Arman-Saladancer trial was a court case hosted on the 20th of February on the east hall of the Latin congress. The case was over the disappearing of Arman's villagers.

The accused was Saladancer, which in that point was a very new member of the SMP. He was the primary suspect because he was already known to steal things, and threathened to steal dogs at one point. Arman announced his villagers were gone on the 19th of February, and shortly after, it was announced that a trial would be held on the Latin congress to determine if Saladancer would be found guilty or innocent.

Arman wasn't able to come, so he was represented by a legal team of the jury. PizzaNick_16, the pope, was the judge. It was attended by 7 people. James was the only one officially on Saladancer's side. David was one of the first to accuse Saladancer, and was the first to take the podium to accuse him, Saladancer soon responded with his first defense, in which in among other things, he claimed that he was hacked. After some back and forth, in which Bem, Tomas and James spoke at the podium, the trial officialy ended. The judge charged Saladancer guilty, and as punishment, he would be executed in an religious ceremony. The execution ended up failing, as he and James escaped and were after hunted down, which led to conflict and almost caused a holy war, as James and Saladancer not only broke the court's laws, but also disrespected the Pope. After some debating in congress, Bem, David, the pope and Tomas settled on resolution #33069. This offered two options for Saladancer: be executed and settle the case, or not be executed and be banned from the Latin republic's borders. He chose the second option, thus he was officially banned. The resolution also enforced border security on James, and he was required to face increased vigilance when in the nation's borders.
