Maxcubes vs. Banshee

Maxcubes vs. Banshee___ was an arson case between the aforementioned players. It is a landmark case as it is the first official court case on the server and established a basic court case function.

Facts of the case
Maxcubes' house was griefed three days prior to the court case, and he notified the server of this promptly. The patterns of the damage pointed to arson, or the deliberate setting fire of property (for all you dummies). The suspicion against Banshee was due to the fact that when Max's house was still intact, Banshee was not on, but when Max logged back in, Banshee was the only one on and his house had been griefed at that point. It is assumed both of them engaged in an in-game argument. The case was ordered personally by jack_machammer, a rudimentary court was set up in the cathedral, and the case began.

Question
Is Banshee___ guilty of setting fire to Maxcubes' house?

Conclusion
The court case had almost ended with an almost unanimous decision that Banshee___ was not guilty. However, a theory so cleverly, smartly, ingeniously proposed by Judge jack_machammer had flipped the jury completely. Due to a previous incident in which Maxcubes had stressed a desire to kill 1_L_1 out of pure revenge because he killed him two months prior, it was thought that the firing of Max's house was retaliation for this by Banshee, a member of the nation of Japan similar to 1_L_1. This theory was also propelled by the fact Maxcubes had found diamonds in his chest after his house had been burnt, raising the idea he was compensated for the damages.

The case had ended (anti-climactically) when the judge told the defendant that he would have no legal charges against him (as he already paid Maxcubes beforehand) if he admitted and apologized to burning his house down. The defendant apologized but ended with a sting, saying "you deserved it".

The verdict was guilty.
