332.09 // Hypocrisy in The Senate

Latest senate polls show support for the Corellian Senator plummeting after what can only be described as hypocritical procedures.

Being the instigator for the Jedi Order to be investigated for their actions in the galaxy, the Senator from Correlia is now relying on a Jedi’s support for her own personal protection.

This has had many in the senate speculating on her true reasons behind the push. The Senator of Dantooine, Kea Mastruk, had this to say…

How can we stand behind Senator Sandria, when she herself relies on the protection of the Jedi? The people of Dantooine will stay loyal with the Jedi and we urge the other systems to remain so. The Jedi have only ever protected us, and continue to do so.

Furthermore, there is no clear evidence being provided against this Jedi ‘attacker’ we’ve only heard her word and seen a holo-photo of him being present! I do hope the Judge see’s this for what it is… Slander

More on this development as it comes…

332.02 // Jedi Knight Accepts Guilty Plea

We’re coming in live from Corellia today where the accused Jedi Knight, who has now been identified as Kieran Orion, was sentenced to 1000 hours of community service and a 20,000 credit fine. This ruling has shocked interplanetary audiences.

Senator Sandria’s legal team had charged the Jedi intruder with two counts of breaking and entering, one count of aggravated assault and one count of attempted murder, which carried a maximum of sentence of life imprisonment. However, the majority of these charges were argued against in court, resulting in what many are describing as a highly mitigated sentence.

The trial’s judge has been a target of intense public backlash with many of Sandria’s constituency accusing the justice system of favoritism. However, the judge dismissed claims of propagating concessions for the Jedi Order, stating:

“I am well aware of the current political cross fire between senators and the members of the Jedi Order of late, and it has become increasingly obvious that the Jedi are not currently popular on Corellia. However, I do not feel that this justifies the mistreatment of the individual in question, regardless of background or culture. Everyone has equality under the law, whether they be a Jedi Knight or not.

My decisions today was a result of proper in depth analysis of the evidence that both sides brought before the jury. Master Orion was found guilty of the crimes he was proven to have committed and cleared of those he did not. It will be a matter for the Jedi Order to take further disciplinary action, not the Corellian justice system. However, I do feel this man has been properly held accountable for any wrong doing.

I do believe justice was served today”.

There has since been no word from Senator Sandria today, who has yet to formally address the media since the incident. The question on everyone’s mind is where to from here?
