The Standish Decisions

The Standish Decisions were a series of Judicial trials occurring in 1989-1990.
=== Description ===
The Standish Decisions were a series of trials against officers of the United States Navy following the shelling of Fort Standish in 1989 (Shelling of Fort Standish), and presided over by Judge SerbiaSmells. Of the 26 who were believed to be on trial, only 3 were released. 
=== Trial ===
The US Naval officers were accused of firing on a civilian target knowingly and willingly, killing innocent men, women, and children of Bloxtotska. Judge SerbiaSmells found this to be unacceptable, and was outraged. As the trials continued, Judge Serbia sentenced 20 out of the 26 officers to death by firing squad for war crimes against Bloxtotska, 3 out of the 26 officers to hard labor in the Bloxtotskan Industrial Sector, and the other 3 to be released due to their misguidance by their higher ranking officers.
=== Aftermath ===
During the carrying out of punishments against those involved, a member of the group sentenced to death by firing squad asked for retrial, in the first time in Bloxtotskan History, this was granted. During his retrial he was found to be guilty of more than originally thought. It was discovered this officer was directly responsible for giving the order to fire upon Fort Standish, also giving the order to other ships. While he was originally hoping to get some sort of alleviation of his sentence, luck was not on his side. Judge Serbia was even more outraged, sentencing him to one of Bloxtotska's worst punishments.
