The special tribunal ultimately acquitted Taon of most of his charges!
Despite all of the hard evidence that showed the Zeal attacking the Elegant Rage with deadly intent and despite the expert pilot's own brazen admissions of his various misdeeds, this did not necessarily mean he was in the wrong!
Venerable Jannzi Larkinson, Commander Casella Ingvar and Venerable Vincent Ricklin all looked incredibly conflicted. The troubling case challenged all of their principles and forced them to make decisions that they did not necessarily agree with. They would definitely get haunted by the verdicts they issued on this ignominious day.
