Even in a city like Newgate, crimes also happen. This is the case of Langrin v. Gornaran.

The man was arrested in an illegal bordello in one of the dimensions and brought to Newgate to face the charges of defrauding Sadrian of half a million dollars and attempting to defraud the synthetic known as Taila of another quarter million dollars.  Since Taila was a synthetic and didn’t need money, the quarter million dollars plus another quarter million for punitive damages would go to the investigator Serdrum Valtram. 

In the municipal court of Newgate, synthetics and computers administer justice.  There is no need for a jury most of the time unless people want to use one.   Normally the judgement is fair and since no emotions are swayed, people who deserve to be punished are punished. 

Case 1845-38, Langrin v. Gornaran, decided on May 3, 1845 went Sadrian’s way.  But since Mandran’s assets were only $12 million and usually no more than 10% of a person’s assets could be collected so that he wouldn’t be thrown into poverty, Sadrian was awarded $ 900,000 and Serdrum received $300,000. 

After the trial, the other woman in the other dimensions found out about Gornaran who was also known as Milvan Ferdlock, Greng Freesh, Solnan Horsh, Tervan Main, and Byrups Gohorskaday.  He was went to prison in one of the dimensions for 20 years and was bankrupted.  The last time anybody heard about him he was working in an investment firm in another dimension making shady deals and was bound to be caught someday unless he could stay ahead of the law and more women he probably kept defrauding so he could maintain his wealthy lifestyle.   

If he was caught, he was going by a different name and changed his identity.  If he was killed by someone, it probably served him right.  Whatever happened, at least in Newgate, justice was done.
