The Raiders Punished! Wed Jun 17 Tiriana
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they say people have a right to a speedy trial, they probably don't
mean this. Barely two weeks after their captures, High Reaches' raiders
have been found unaminously guilty of crimes against Weyr and Hold, with
sentencing to be carried out immediately.
The morning of the 17th day was spent busily transferring prisoners about.
The low-level dupes, like that Jamden kid the Weyr already caught once,
were sent to Crom and its mines to work a few years, while the higher-ups
in the organization--the inner council and recruiters like the kid's
uncle--received life sentences to those mines. For however long or short
the rest of their lives might be.
As for the ringleader of the whole operation? Rajiv's sentence was carried
out in the afternoon, after all his cronies had been disposed of. Just
outside the Weyr, Rajiv Vijay's final tirade against the Weyr was cut
short by a sudden drop: hung by the neck until dead.
And somewhere in the midst of all these criminals being put away, one man
was released. Chedayi, a low-level Vijay sent to the mines for crimes
against the Weyr which have since been reattributed to Rajiv, was pardoned
before the day was out.
