Indictment Decision 00000000000002-A Resolved: That Cuddlebeam be convicted (found guilty) for Oathbreaking (pledge cited in evidence).
Indictment Decision 00000000000002-B Resolved: That the indictment fine of 3 blots, as issued by the Referee, be accepted. I hereby initiate a referendum on each of the above Decisions. Each decision has a voting method of AI-majority, with AI=1.5. The vote collector is the Arbitor, the quorum is 4, valid options are FOR and AGAINST (PRESENT is also a valid vote, as are conditional votes). Ordered pairs of votes for (A,B) above have the following meaning: (FOR, FOR) Guilty, and 3 blots is an appropriate penalty. (FOR, AGAINST) Guilty, but issue a different penalty (higher or lower). (AGAINST, FOR) Not Guilty, but if found guilty by total votes, 3 blots is appropriate. (AGAINST, AGAINST) Not Guilty, but if found guilty by total votes, issue a different penalty.
