CrIme and punishment

[Hercules]

Not only has our court and trial system been found wanting in certain respects but so is our penal system.
What are the possible punishments to suit the crime, from casting into the recycling tanks to nerve stapling to a life sentence cleaning the rec. comms.
Suggestions welcome for both the crime and punishment and then all of us and Mr President can pass sentence on Lemmy.

For bad jokes it could be 1 week writing backwards in all posts to every utterance having the letters l.e.m.m.y included,well maybe not

How exactly has our court and trial system been found wanting?

I only got convicted for 2 charges

Minimum punishment for all crimes, 1 day in prison!

[GeneralTacticus]

I only got convicted for 2 charges

How's that a failure of the judicial system? You were innocent of the other ones, after all.

[GeneralTacticus]

I say that the punishment for Use of Bad Humour should conscription into the role of Cabinet Jester, who is obliged to make at least 1 joke every 15 minutes. Failure to do so, or further bad humour, should be punished through pelting with rotten vegetables.

Re Trial: It was unclear who was the defence lawyer. Though the discussion to and fro between the legal teams and the public gallery was illuminating, few witnesses were called nor was their testimony subject to traditional courtroom cross-examination.

I would have expected the judge to intervene more and accuse many in the public gallery of contempt of court.

Also as has been noticed the conviction rate v the charges was low.

Further not enough people used latin quotations. Any decent court room would be littered with fine latin quotes. I think we had 2. Call this a court.

Finally there was inadequate amounts of alcohol available while the court was adjourned.

I am sure Mein General when your case comes to court (I haven't forgotten your murky post record) that you want the best legal brains (those uneaten) to conduct your defence.

I suggest a punishment should be the use of a different latin phrase in his next 20 posts and excluding base names.

But if one is found guilty of using bad humor, then it is already established that one can't use humor, therefore this punishment will automatically result into pelting with rotten vegetables.

I'm fine with pelting with rotten vegetables...

Actually, I'm fine with everything except putting him into prison, jail or any variation of those two. We are more imaginitive then that, right?

Consider it job retraining, so that when your sentence is over you can make some decent jokes.

What murky post record?

[Mr. President]

Sorry for not intervening in the trial too much, but I didn't have much time around that period. I'll try and do better next time.

Would you like me to pass sentence soon? Perhaps once we get the penalties sorted out.

I think all citizens should have a three-day "visit" to the punishment sphere's if they are found guilty of violating Peacekeeper laws.

[Hercules]

Yes Mr President but give it one more day for punishment suggestions
