Seventh Part of the Seal
I was just wondering about the facts surrounding his trial. "Guilty of Crimes against Humanity." I find to be someone... unspecific?
True we all saw what he did first hand, but what about his record of service to Confed? This Tolwyn fought for Confed during the Pilgrim War, and through the Kilrathi war entirely (40+ years). Not to mention that it was his heroism that helped expose the Kilrathi's plan to attack Sol while they were pursuing peace negotiations. It was his tactics that helped hault the attack on Earth, etc. etc. etc.
He may have been a fallen hero, but if it wasn't for him, no one would have been around to see him fall.
Does that mean he should not have been convicted? Of course not... but a lifetime of violence would derange ANY human beings mind. Perhaps a psycological evaluation and life imprisonment would have been sufficient? I don't know, execution just seemed a little harsh to me.
