@matrix >The Nygean legal system was based on an ancient protocol known as "Vekto Valek K'Vadim" or "favor the victims", in which the victim and/or their family determined the sentence for the offender, from restitution up to and including the death sentence. However, in accordance with Nygean penal code, a capital defendant had the right to appeal his sentence to the family of his victims. Regardless of evidence pointing to possible innocence, Nygean law protected victims from emotional distress.
