4.0: On Punishments[]

4.3: When multiple persons are eligible to give the fine or punishment, the order of importance is first the Leader of AUTM, then the Co-Leader of AUTM, and finally the Leader(s) of their lands, if applicable.
4.4: Trials are resolved either on Santoria or on Discord, with the judge being either a citizen of AUTM tasked by the Leader of AUTM or Co-Leader of AUTM, or the Leader of AUTM or Co-Leader of AUTM. The accused will be their own defense lawyer, while the prosecutor may be a citizen of AUTM hired by the accusing party or the accusing party themselves. One person may not be more than one role at a time. The defense lawyer starts by their opening statement, followed by the prosecutor. Then, the defense lawyer gives their opening statement countering the prosecutor’s opening statement, followed by the prosecutor giving their closing argument countering the defense lawyer’s opening statement. Finally, the judge decides the result, either ‘Guilty’ or ‘Not Guilty’ and decides the length of time of the banishment if applicable. Opening statements may include presentations of evidence, unlike closing arguments.
