Sentencing:

On the 1 count of 200.01 Theft of Property: Given the clear and convincing evidence presented by the Plaintiff, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant is guilty of theft of property. From the evidence presented, my own knowledge of the shop being consistently well stocked, and the reputability of the Defense, it is clear that the Defendant stole 3 stacks of emerald blocks. The Defendant made no attempt to dispute any evidence presented regarding the theft of property charge, he instead chose to claim to have amnesia. I therefore sentence the defendant MrHall08 to 6 days exile pearled for the 1 count of 200.01 Second-Degree Intentional Griefing.

​

On the 1 count of 100.02 Second-Degree Intentional Griefing: Given the clear and convincing evidence presented by the Plaintiff, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant is guilty of second-degree intentional griefing. It is clear that the Defendant did in fact destroy property of Hjaltland industries in order to gain entry, or access, to the shop chest. The Defendant made no attempt to dispute any evidence presented regarding the griefing charge, he instead chose to claim to have amnesia. I therefore sentence the defendant MrHall08 to the maximum sentence of 10 days exile pearled for the 1 count of 100.02 Second-Degree Intentional Griefing.

​

On the 2 counts of 600.01 Violation of the Bill of Rights or Constitution: Given the clear and convincing evidence presented by the Plaintiff, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant is guilty of 1 count of the violations of MABOR VI. For the MABOR VI. violation, the evidence presented makes it clear that the Defendant violated the Plaintiff's right to privacy. As for the MABOR V.iii. violation, the Defendant did not in this case cause violence towards the Plaintiff, as he never interacted with the Plaintiff in-game during the theft. I therefore sentence the defendant MrHall08 to no time exile pearled for the 1 count of 600.01 Violation of the Bill of Rights or Constitution for the following reason: b. If a judge sustains a finding of guilt, but also determines that one or more different criminal statute(s) could have applied to the same actions (or inactions), the judge will not deliver any sentence or require payment of any reparations for "600 - General Crimes."

Conclusion:

During this trial the Plaintiff made claims that the defendant, MrHall08, is an alternate account of Tofee_Dodger. This claim comes from Tofee_Dodger and MrHall08 having login/logout times around the same time, as well as Tofee_Dodger messaging Tankbuster44 around the time of the theft. Tofee_Dodger had, according to the Plaintiff and evidence given, not logged in for the last 7 days prior to this day. The court however does not find that the evidence presented to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Tofee_Dodger is MrHall08, nor does the court believe the evidence to be substantially more probable to be true than not. Given all of this however, if more substantial proof surfaces that MrHall08 is an alternative account of Tofee_Dodger, he will subsequently become wanted in Mount Augusta.

​

The defendant, MrHall08, is hereby sentenced to 16 days exile pearled for 1 count of 200.01 Theft of Property, 1 count of 100.02 Second-Degree Intentional Griefing, and 1 count of 600.01 Violation of the Bill of Rights or Constitution. Reparations for the 200.01 Theft of Property are to be decided between the affected party (Hjaltland Industries) and the convicted (MrHall08). The defendant, MrHall08, is recommended to turn himself in order to serve his 16 day sentence. If MrHall08 decides not to turn himself in, he will remain pearl-on-sight.

Thank you, and long live Mount Augusta.
