we would need one bloody huge courtroom

[Obadiah]

A trial is an interesting thought. How do you put on trial any enemy for war crimes?

I have this vision of Reapers held as some sort of "chained" and restrained flotilla in space corralled to hear the charges against them. Would they even bother to respond to charges, or would they just be continuously trying to attack?

Constantly blaring their horns while the witness is trying to give his or her testimony, like in the Reaper Cockalorum video.

Giving them a trial is insane by the time it ends the Jury will be indoctrinated including the Judge and Bailiff.

Blasto apparently hasn't been assigned to the case yet. Once he's on it everything will be fixed, one way or the other.

Blasto is preoccupied, fighting Sluggard (Sovereign's half-brother).

Who will defend the Reapers, TIM?

The Reapers would at least be clearly guilty of Mass Genocide on innumerable counts.

Out of curiosity - is there some statute of limitation on genocide? 50,000 years is a long time, and that is just one cycle.

Anyway, I think what they did in this  cycle is more than enough to put them into prison for eternity or kill them, depending on legislation.

When I say we are in the position of putting them on Trial I mean in a way where the Reapers could not just simply attack. As it states in the title this is a "What if?" scenario. Say we were able to Subdue the Reapers thus giving us the position to question and have them look at what they have done to our cycle plus Javik's cycle considering he'll no doubt be representing the whole Prothean race.

I think the Catalyst is the only "guilty" one, not the Reapers.

Law & Order: C-Sec. This sounds like a promising spin off actually...

Ok also fair enough. Say we manage to consolidate the catalyst into a single entity thus we are able to subdue. How would the trial play out? Can the catalyst's insane logic convince the galaxy that its justified in what crimes besides genocide is it guilty of? Crimes against Life itself?

The Reapers have 37 million years of evidence on their side. Hmm....

Aye yes, Reapers! Heh, I do believe crimes against humanity wouldn't quite cut it in the end. Multiple accounts of genocide, enslavement, unethical experiments, slavery, destruction of public property, destruction of private property, crimes against nature, kidnapping, etc. Hell one could throw the book of galactic law at them and it would pretty much cover everything.

What would be a fitting punishment?

Banshees would obviously put the jury on their side by giving them lap dances.

[AresKeith]

They don't need to be on trial

I AM THE LAW

[Killdren88]

I would just categorize as Crimes against life. I would think that pretty much covers all the atrocities conducted by the Reapers or the Catalyst whoever you wish to condemn for their actions. Of if you want to be more exact you can trial specific Reapers like Harbinger.

Well, even if one *could* convince a jury that the end of all organic civilizations was inevitable (before his intervention), you then are left with the issue of violently forcing everyone to submit. The Catalyst could have made his solution voluntary, and that would have both avoided unnecessary deaths and forcing people to submit without their consent.

I get his logic and think he is pursuing a worthwhile goal (preventing total extinction), but his solution and the methods to enact it both cross the line. If organic species do go extinct, so be it -- that's just the cruel reality of organic life.

... I suppose that sort of makes me a hypocrite, because I don't consider any of the Crucible options to be strictly lawful, and yet I'll choose all three before picking Refuse because I'd cross any "line" before losing everyone in the galaxy. It wouldn't have been necessary, though, had the Catalyst not forced my hand. He, OTOH, could have taken his time.

That would have to depend on the Jury really. For all we know it would be treated like Nuremberg where there was no jury and the Germans got Allied commanders to oversee the proceedings.
