tonight at 3:30am I found Kerisma to be in violation of regional endorsement cap. I also discovered that he had endorsed many nations but not myself I suspect Endorsement swapping, but do not have a message on file from Kerisma. I sent the defendent this message and placed them under arrest.
I now turn over Prosecution to Free Pacific States. |

Your honor, quite simply, there is not much of a case to present. Kerisma (who I myself have been watching lately) went above the regional endorsement limit of 150. Whether she meant to or not, does not matter. Whether she cares or not, does not matter. Whether she was endorsing or not, does not matter. What matters is that she went above the limit, and thereby needs to be punished. Now, at this time, no precedant for this charge has been set, since in the last couple of days marked the first occurances of it's breaking. Thereby, the prosecution would like to go for a full punishment: Regional Banning. |

I think we're having a little misunderstanding here. The endorsement cap is not a law saying you must have less than 150 endorsements. In my interpretation, it is a written guideline which the delegate can use to justify kicking/banning someone who is posing a threat. No law is broken by having more than 150, it is just a guideline. The intent of the rule against endorsement swapping is to prevent overthrow of the delegate, not to ban people with a lot of endorsements. Endorsements themselves are not the problem, it's what having too many can precipitate that's the problem. The charge is not breaking the cap, but treason by endorsement swapping. You must prove that treason was intended and that endorsement swapping was the means to carry it out, beyond reasonable doubt, for us to find the defendant guilty. |

Actaully, Let me explain... The endorsement cap IS LAW- If you are not active on these forums, and have more than 150 endorsements, you are kicked, If you ARE active on these forums, then its a case by case with Loop- |

Hmmm... I'd hate to press it, but I must. This is why we need a lawbook! Personally, however, I must agree with the courts. If it is not written in an official EP document, then how could it be law? |

I stand by my ruling. The law says, "If the suspected swapper recieves more than 150 endorsements." This is therefore subject to the person in question being suspected of swapping. It is the ruling of this court that breaking the endorsement cap is not by itself a violation of the law, it must be accompanied by intent to commit treason. (I will start a judicial precedents thread in the Book of the Law too. There are some important decisions in the past cases that need to be summarised.) |

Without a defence, the prosecution's evidence stands unrefuted. Therefore, on the charge of treason by endorsement swapping, this court finds Kerisma guilty. The defendant is hereby sentenced to be banned permanently from the East Pacific. Parole will be at Delegate's discretion. This matter is adjourned. |
