DB vs Jalek - Justicar's Opinion_

The initial complaint was brought to the Justicar by a concerned member after he noticed a suspicious hostmask on IRC. The Justicar initiated an investigation, which turned up several pieces of information. First, multiple IRC hostmasks of Ts'ao Eth Tenshi matched those of "Androc", another member of the Brotherhood who had been previously prosecuted by the Chamber (and was on probation). When Ts'ao was approached about this, he admitted that he indeed was Androc (now going by the name Jalek Rya). This indicated that Ts'ao was a clone created by Androc. This was confirmed via multiple IP matches logged by the Brotherhood website. During the investigation, another clone, "Ghostwolf4" was found via IP matches as well.

The Chamber charged Jalek with two counts of cloning, and with violating his probation. Jalek did not espond to the charge notification, so an automatic plea of not guilty was entered. To determine the trial type, the Chamber considered the maximum punishment that could be sought in this case. To this point, Jalek had already been separately warned, given an Letter of Reprimand, and charged (and found guilty) by the Chamber of Justice. This demonstrated a clear pattern of recidivism and complete disregard for the rules of our organization. It was determined that expulsion would be the maximum penalty sought, so Jalek would face a trial by jury.

The jury was selected under the supervision of the Grand Master, who verified that the jury was selected at random, as required by the Covenant. The prosecution and defense submitted their arguments, and the jury deliberated. Their decision was unanimous, they found Jalek guilty of cloning and violating his probation. After the guilty verdict, the Justicar reviewed the defendants history and recommended expulsion. A second jury was randomly selected, again under the Grand Masters supervision, to determine whether expulsion was warranted. The Justicar provided the arguments for expulsion - including warnings for poor behavior, a Letter of Reprimand for using another members administrative access to recommend a promotion for himself, and being found guilty in two Chamber trials of Attempted Hacking, Attempted Cloning, Cloning, and Violating his Probation. The sentencing jury agreed with the Justicar's recommendation, unanimously approving the expulsion.

During his time here, Jalek demonstrated a complete disregard for the rules of the Dark Brotherhood. From the moment he joined, he repeatedly violated the Dark Covenant. He was instructed on multiple occasions that his behavior was unacceptable – yet he continued. After being given his first Letter of Reprimand, he immediately came up with a scheme to gain inappropriate access to other dossiers. After he was found guilty of attempted cloning and hacking and put on probation, he immediately created two new clones in direct violation of his probation.

The Dark Covenant exists to create a fun and fair environment for all of our members. However, when a member repeatedly demonstrates complete and utter disregard for the Covenant and his fellow members, he forfeits the right to membership in our organization.
