His son's crimes had all been proven, and Tewin himself had no way to defend himself, remaining silent.
But Taryn, who had taken the money, immediately raised his hand and stood up, arguing, "Your Honor, first of all, I must say I do not quite agree with the tax evasion charge!"
"Under the laws of the America Federation, Native Americans have tax privileges, and the Black Tax Act was only enacted on the third of last month."
"As an Elder of the Indian Tribe, Mr. Tewin seldom interacts with the outside world and overlooked the Black Tax Act, which is a human oversight!"
Taryn's point of contention seemed quite reasonable.
If you said the Black Tax Act had been out for a year and a half, that would have been an easy argument.
But it had been introduced less than two months ago, and aside from politicians, civil servants, and those in the market who follow the news, who would know such a law existed?
Oversight is normal, isn't it?
