Being charged and being convicted are two different things, Vic.
Once Kawashiba is in court the witnesses will testify once more on the record. Until then, her arrest warrant stands.

Right. Like all of those "fair" trials that fill up your slave-labor assembly lines at Huntsville.

You've gotten our official standing on this subject from a representative from the Primary Fleet, The LSF and now I will say this as a Commodore of the Secondary Fleet. Miss Tomoe is wanted for crimes against the House of Liberty. If she enters Liberty we will attempt to arrest her, if she fails to comply we will not hesitate to open fire and disable her vessel. We have sworn statements from a number of high-ranking officers of the Liberty Navy and against the word of a Zoner that be good enough for me...
I used to think that the Zoners had the most convoluted political structure in Sirius.
Observing the Libertonian response to this incident has proven otherwise.

How is our political structure convoluted? We've got the LPI, and above that is the Navy, and above that is the LSF, and above that is Sunbucks, and above that is the Navy, and above that is the President. Makes perfect sense to me.

Commodore Walker, Out.
Of course. If a naval officer says you did a crime, you did it. Sounds like a fair justice system. And in this case, the Zoner had photographs, not just words.
But seeing is not believing in the dystopia that is called "Liberty".
Yet who am I to criticize the upstanding Libertonian judicial system? Us backwards Zoner folk wouldn't know anything about justice now, would we? We should just leave big ideas like that up to the boys who run Huntsville and Sugarland.
Message: There is a fine line between the word of a naval officer and the word of several officers. Hypothetical situation, several Zoners claim one of our pilots shot yours... Who do you believe? I think the answer is obvious.

Exactly! Now you're getting the picture.

In all seriousness though, If you don't like Liberty, please move to another House. Nobody is forcing you to stay here and live in our "dystopia."

"HAR HAR HAR!"
Victor sprayed his cardamine-cola all over his communication console screen.
"LaTonqua! Come 'ere and clean the screen, suga' pie!"
"Me? In Liberty? I wouldn't be caught dead in Liberty. Of course, if the Liberty Navy catches anybody there, they're as good as dead anyways, evidence or not. Your so-called "legal" system consists of nothing more than a system of bribes, extortion, power-mongering and human slavery. I literally wipe my butt with sheets of gold while you keep your starving populace in prison stations to make more low-quality consumer goods.
As for my fellow Zoners at Erie and Bethlehem, including several of my relatives, well, they were there first. Most of the ones I've talked to are quite resentful of your presence, but that is an issue for another day.
The fact of the matter is that there are some good eggs in your otherwise rotten basket. It's a shame that the good 'uns aren't the ones with the real power over there."
