In the case MTA Citizens (Represented by SerraNova) v. Tabby, the charges against the defendant are as follows:

• 100.01.1d Materially Assisting Griefing
• 300.01.1c Materially Assisting Murder
• 500.01.1g Materially Assisting in Fostering a Foreign Takeover

Section 100, charges require evidence “beyond a reasonable doubt” to sustain guilt.

Section 300 charges require a preponderance of the evidence to sustain guilt.

Section 500 charges require clear and convincing evidence to sustain guilt.

All three of these burdens of proof are summarized in section 900 of the criminal code.

Considering that all three charges, involve “materially assisting” in the committing of a crime, let’s examine the evidence for this.

We must remember that MTA was beset by raiders at this point who violated pretty much every section of the criminal code in one way or another. While it is not a crime to know, talk to, or be friends with raiders, materially assisting raiders with food is “materially assisting”

Also note, Tabby claims to be holding items from the MTA factory room that she will return to MTA after the conflict.

In response to the evidence against her, Tabby submitted the following logs: http://imgur.com/a/uwlQL

They seem to indicate, as she claims, that she was brewing pots at the point that they had moved on to attack the weepee vault, but there were still a lot of players in the group who had participated in the attack on MTA and no statement had been made, and as far as I know, no statement has still been made indicating that the raiders were done with MTA and leaving their crusade permanently. Mirakles, does state that he “thought it would be worse,” and that “they didn’t even bust shop chests.” This would be enough to pardon tabby of any section 200 allegations, but the fact stands that the raiders attacked and occupied MTA, committing 100.01 crimes with the placing of blocks on private property and several 300.01 crimes occurred during that time. The fact that 500.01 crimes were committed by the raiders is well-documented with reddit posts and chat logs.

Let’s talk for a second about materially assisting. The criminal code reads as follows:

c. The coercion by force, threat of force, fraud, payment or contracting by promise of payment or reimbursement any party with the goal of causing the above shall be prosecuted as the same d. Materially assisting anyone via donation of goods, materials, or other aid (snitch network access, etc.) with the goal of causing the above shall be prosecuted as the same. Tabby has worked with these people, if friends with these people, and evidence indicates that she assisted these people afterwards in their attack on the WP vault. It’s reasonably to assume that Tabby provided and continued to provide assistance to the raiders. (Though legally, MTA won't take into account anything that happened at WP because that isn't our jurisdiction.

Section 500 charges especially are a big deal and come with the longest sentences of the three. While this is legally the worst charge, tabby’s worst “crime” is having shitty friends who committed all the above offenses. Where are the chat logs of her trying to convince her friends to leave MTA alone? What motivates someone to assist a group that just wrecked the town you live in?

I think it’s reasonable to assume that even though she didn't actively participate in the actual commission of the crimes, Tabby was assisting the raiders and it satisfies the burdens of proof for section 300 and 500 charges.

I therefore find Tabby guilty of section 300 and section 500 charges and not-guilty of the section 100 charge because requires a higher burden of proof.

End time is: 1 month from the receipt of the the pearl by a Mount Augustan official. The sentence may served concurrently with any other outstanding sentence with the approval of the group that issued that sentence. Constitutionally, Tabby has the opportunity to be pardoned or have her sentence reduced through the proper channels.
