I've been monitoring your situation, without having made any comments so far. I wanted to leave it to our admins and moderators to get to the bottom of what really happened at Roche.
Thus far, it has been my conclusion that a lot of ad hominem attacks have been thrown your way, followed by allegations, with little proof. Several questions have been missed in transition, as the Mandalorians and those involved in this Corporate Alliance have looked for someone to blame.
I think this entire drama as to whether the book should be thrown at you or not has been indicative of the current circumstance that the Republic finds itself in. On the pretense that the Republic is now weak, the Mandalorians have been throwing about their weight, backed by Corporations who have received significant funding from Sith Lords.
To say that all the events are some Sith plot would be an allegation without substance, but I think there is a pretense for mistrust from our side and so I understand why you have been unwilling to be trialed IC and have been mistrustful OOC.
In light of all of this, I would be willing to stand for you in your trial of absentia, if our Chancellor and the Senate intend to push on with the trial. So long as the trial is done on the basis that you are innocent until proven guilty, I think there is a real case to proven that Ali Hadrix is innocent of most, if not all, of the allegations made against her.
