Solar
Senate Justice Corp (SSJC)
The Judicial branch of the Solar Senate consists of two sections. These are the Judicial Tribunal and the Solar Senate Marshals (SSM). The Tribunal sits in judgment of any accused and passes sentence upon conviction. Sentences levied are set forth and governed by the Uniform Code of Solar Justice (UCSJ).
The Marshals act as the investigative and enforcement arm of the judicial
branch. They are responsible for
investigating individuals, corporations, groups, and nations that are accused of
infractions of the UCSJ. The SSM is
further responsible for the apprehension and detention of accused entities. And
finally they are responsible for the enforcement of sentences passed down by the
Tribunal.
During the trial process advances in physiological science have allowed
the development of a sensor system that makes perjuries on the witness stand an
almost unheard of event. Basically
the person being questioned by the tribunal is seated in a chair mounted on a
pedestal. They then place their
hand on a sensor pad that makes a neurological connection to the central nervous
system and through that to the brain. The
controlling computer then speaks out and states that an error has been detected
if the person being questioned does not tell the truth.
An amazing success versus Deception skill is required to fool the
machine. Of course it is possible
for a person to really believe what they are saying is the truth and still be in
error.
