This alleged action of yours falls under the meaning of article 2.4.2. of the Legal Corpus of Somerset which dictates :

Art. 2.4.2. : An act of rebellion is defined as any action to attack the Town hall or the County Castle or the takeover of these institutions. A rebellion is a serious crime. The sentence is set in Article 2.1.3.

You have the right to defence counsel.

The witness(es) are obliged to testify under oath.

First defence pleading

Quote :

Your honour
I plead guilty of all crimes

Prosecutor indictment

Quote :

Your Honour,
I believe that the evedince and testimony provided ,along with the the defendant's confession, give us enough ground for conviction.His crime is rebellion,that, is a serious one.And the defendant has been accused of profiteering in the past.On the other hand, the defendant confessed his crime and there are no criminal records of the period during which he was accused of profiteering. So I suggest a fine of 30 pounds.

Last defence pleading

Quote :

Your honour
I agree with you completly and I admit my actions were wrong but I rebelled for one reason, to get the mines wages up but I now see that was not the way to do it.
Yours sincerely
Polishlord
