Guilty.
Lanie's eyes grew hazy as she received this sentence.
While Taon managed to get away with his attempts to kill her because the special tribunal thought he engaged in an act of attempted justified homicide, Lanie got stuck with attempted voluntary manslaughter!
This was undoubtedly worse as it effectively communicated that the clan thought that Lanie unambiguously acted wrongly under this circumstance!
Not just Lanie, but also many other Larkinsons did not quite agree with this verdict!
Unlike Taon, Lanie attracted greater sympathy from the Larkinsons due to several reasons.
First, Goldie did not entirely abandon her. The female expert pilot retained her connection to the Larkinson Network, and every clansman could sense that. The fact that the ancestral spirit of the Larkinson Clan remained sympathetic towards her cause was a big deal, even if it could not materially affect the decisions of the special tribunal by itself.
