During the several days that he was taken into custody, Negary received preferential treatment.
He had specialized chefs, a luxurious 'prison cell', a wide variety of books to read, and he could even access the internet under some supervision.
A few days later, the Tribunal for Authority Holders created by the Disaster Management Act held a court, in which Negary stood trial as the defendant.
As Chang Xia expected, in court, most representatives from all parties showed goodwill towards Negary.
In terms of defence, the lawyer only cited strange and unusual cases that were fringe examples, as well as the reasoning that 'mister Wang Yuan was only acting in accordance to his instincts at the time'.
In the end, Negary was sentenced to only one month in prison, and although it was called imprisonment, he was actually there as a VIP guest.
