Found incompetent to stand trial.
That doesn't mean what you think it means.
It means she's been declared a ward of the state. That's life. Slightly better than prison, but not by much. There's no statute of limitations on crimes that end in "not competent". You go a mental facility until you either die or recover enough to stand trial.
Because almost everything in Star Wars is an epic opera scaled caricature. It's not a setting that people sat down and really thought about very much.

Tanaka's setting is a generalization, but only in the sense that it's the Napoleonic Wars in space. Once you understand that, you start to see parallels everywhere and you realize all he's really done is taken history, rearranged a few things, replaced some names and added spaceships.
Okay, but... did the developer commit a crime?
Land developer, y'know, being such a honorable, trustworthy profession.
FOR YOUR TWO WEEKS OF UPTIME, THE TWENTY ONE FART GUN SALUTE!
WoW only had three good expansions.
- Lich King
- Pandaria
- Legion
And of them, Pandaria is the most suspect.
Cataclysm... was a special case. It was a not-good expansion that had to happen to fix problems with vanilla. Problems that have been left unresolved in Burning Crusade.
I have the novels.
The translation is fine. Having seen all the versions of the material I can confirm the translator didn't take any perceptible liberties.
I will say that it IS translated Japanese. If you're expecting Rand or Heinlein, don't. It's 8th grade reading level, not college reading level.
I hate the idea that we should ostracize family members due to their opinions.
For when you're such a poor hipster that you can't afford to buy new at the poor hipster store and have to choose between buying used from the poor hipster store, or admit that you are just actually poor and buy new from AtHome.
Mmmmhmmm.
If they were serious about needing more capacity, they'd push to expand the Welland and St Lawrence. But the coastal builders lobby against it because they don't want the lake builders to be able to compete for larger ships. Canada has indicated they're willing to do it if the money is right.
a dozen Spearhead-class
This is not the crisis people think it is.
two expeditionary sea bases
I still don't understand why they felt the need to build six of these in the first place (eight if you count Montford and Glen).
It's almost always a smart character using their brain to outwit everyone else in the room while showing off to a love interest.
Sherlock
Holmes's only love interest is an afternoon at the opium den, he hates women. If you read the books the guy is 100% aspie savant. He has two operating modes... pursuit, and coked off his ass.
Justice should be metered out individually
Read your Schopenhauer. Your conception of justice is revenge, which is as indefensible as it is ineffectual.
Justice is deterrence, and while it's desirable that it should be administered to those who transgressed, strictly speaking it's only necessary that they be popularly perceived as having transgressed.
In other words, nothing stops witchcraft like a good old witch hunt.
Nope. There's been no sentence so there's no release date to shorten.
Trust me on this, I know from family experience. Declared mentally unfit to stand trial is quite frankly the worst hell in the first world. It doesn't end. Ever.
