Thank you, your honor. 9.1) Harassment shall be defined as the severe, intentional disturbance of another citizen. This is what the Legal Code defines harassment as. The defendant's actions completely fits this. The evidence. provided Here, shows Howard insulting and launching transphobic attacks at another citizen. If you do not know, the victim, Rikki, is transgender. Howard used not only general insults to harass and disturb Rikki, such as "self absorbed prick" and "bitch" obviously meant to hurt Rikki, he then insults and attacks one of her identities, by repeatedly spamming her with her birth name, which he knew that she took offense to, and would severely disturb her. And his actions were obviously intentional since he had known that these statements would disturb her. Howard has a pattern of this and has used common insults to attempt to hurt people before, but attacking another citizens identities is worse. He was attacking her personally. And for this, he is guilty of harassment. The defendant may try to help himself by stating that Rikki had previously done these things to him, but we aren't accusing Rikki of harassment. No matter what Rikki or anybody else has said or done to him in the past, he has still committed a crime and deserves the punishment he received.

Thank you your honor, I plead guilty, as we quite know it is obvious I did what I did.I do go against Prime Minister Matts comment on how I have repeatdly done this to other people, but I regret my actions towards Rikki, fully as well as sent a full apology to Rikki. She had committed actions against me in the past which made me do these things, but that does not make what I have done right in any way. The apology I sent Rikki can be seen here. I realize what I did was wrong and I am deeply sorry for what I have done and It won't happen anymore in the future as it should have never happened in the past.

As The Honourable Welshmerc is currently unable to post the sentence, I will be judging in this trial.
What Howard has done was wrong on many levels, and he has proven - multiple times - that he is a danger to this community. With this in mind, the courts believe the apology was not enough to warrant a change.
Howard will be permanently banned from this region, as well as all affiliated discord servers. If he wishes to, he may appeal to get unbanned in nine (9) months. Do note this appeal may or may not get rejected, and if accepted, a probation period will apply.
It is so ordered.
