You have chosen to hunt in the daylight
The next day, you take your gun out with you and return an hour
later having killed a deer. You bring the deer back to your cottage and begin
to clean the animal. Having been in the area and hearing the gunshot, the gamekeeper,
employed by the landowner to enforce the game
laws, rides up to your cottage and enters forcibly. Seeing the deer, he
hauls you away from your family and you are taken before the local
justice of the peace. You have been caught!
The crime you have committed does not warrant a trial by jury.
Instead, you are brought before the local justice
of the peace, a magistrate and member of the ruling class that more often
than not looked after his best interests. This magistrate will decide your fate.
Unfortunately for you, killing a deer is one of the most harshly punished of
all the game laws (11). Thankfully, this justice
seems to be in a generally good mood.
You inform the justice of the difficulties you and your family are having and your inability to provide them with food. You were simply making sure your children didn't starve. The justice has heard enough and is ready to render his decision
There is no standardized judicial system. Sentences are not unified and more than half of the time, the convicted are eventually pardoned. You will find that these same rules hold true on this site. Your punishment is randomized. You might be found innocent, guilty, or you may receive a pardon.
