How does anyone even know Shepard did it? Any witnesses would've had to have been in the Batarian system at the time. And well, we all know what happened to that system.
Why Is Shepard being tried on Earth?

The reason is said as one of the first things you hear in ME1: Humans are deemed "special" by the Council.

Not really. They dropped Saren's ass for far less.

In-game reason: I think it's the Alliance's responsibility to punish him since it was an Alliance mission.
REAL REASON: So you're on Earth when the Reapers attack.

Because Shepard killed 300,000 batarians. Why would a trial to explain that NOT take place on Earth, it is a human issue.

It was another failed covert Hacket mission. This guy should be stripped of his rank and court mashalled because he can't get anything done without outside help. I like how he left the report with Shep to keep his hands clean of the entire fiascal, too. Plausible deniability. Jerk. Imma shoot him in the foot if I get the chance to do so in ME3.

Where did you get that information?

What information? Shepard started out as Alliance in ME1 and was then released to become a Spectre, which, last I heard, had nothing to do with the Alliance. In ME2 he is in cahoots with Cerberus, which again, has nothing to do with the Alliance.
In either case he gets summoned by the admiral to do his bidding because of lame reason #2139487.

I kind of doubt that being a specter gives you a free pass in destorying a star system and kill over 300,000 people.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Modern spec-ops and black-ops do this as a matter of fact. Operatives that are discovered are denied, and if you can get someone outside of the official structure to do your dirty work, then you use that outside help.justgimmedudedammit wrote...

It may not be pleasant, but Hacket is within standing precedent.

So now we are dragging real world scenarios into the game? Fine. You are correct. There is nothing in game to suggest that though.
It also doesn't sway my need to shoot that sucker in the foot ala Conrad Vernor style.

Perhaps. Also - your Shep can be, or not be, a Spectre during this assignment so that kind of rules that out. But should you choose to do the mission you are given zero options to try and execute some other plan. The flip-side is you just say screw it, don't play the dlc and get railroaded at the beginning of ME3.
EDIT: Just to stay on topic
There's no legitimate reason to have the trial on Earth. It's solely a marketing ploy to associate the impact of the Reapers against humans (and to some extent their alien pals).

Agreed. And lets not forget for you Renegade Shep lovers:
Renegade doesn't mean evil and definitely doesn't mean Shepard isn't a soldier anymore.
In addition to that, to what someone said earlier, Shepard's Spectre Status was more like a political move to show some form of support (because the Council knew it wasn't doing anything). The status isn't really as valid as it first was. It didn't even carry the same feeling if/when you actually got some form of it back.
I'll just say that after saving the entire human race from the Collectors, I think I deserve some chill time... and what better place to relax a little bit other than the planet we have yet to see in the Mass Effect series.. the planet I live on...
EARTH FTW

Who is to say that what happened in Arrival is the only reason why Shepard was on trail. My theory is that they have Shepard guilty on multiple account of other crap, such as working with a known terrorist organization.

I think he's refering to when the Council re-instates you, the Asari Councillor comments on how your working with Cerberus, known terrorists.

Seems to be the only ones with that notion. Even the Alliance has dealings with them. Guess it's just which side of the fence you're on.McBeath wrote...
