sympathizers. Friend Computer's omnipotence and benevolence are all that
stand between innocent Citizens and the depredations of nefarious mutants.
Why are you so quick to accuse, Citizen?

Baseless accusations are detrimental to the wellbeing and
good-governance of Alpha Complex. They take upstanding, loyal,
innocent Citizens away from their necessary jobs, subjects them to
unwarranted stress,
I request the assistance of all other loyal Citizens in drafting a
proposal which would address this egregious waste of Alpha Complex
resources. I have two options in mind:
(Presumption of Innocence) If, at trial, the accused is found
Innocent, the accuser shall be terminated for wasting Alpha Complex
resources.
(Presumption of Guilt) Before trial, the accused is terminated (thus
saving the expense of trial), but is allowed to make a last-minute
statement identifying and accusing co-conspirators.

This is a good idea for accusations of treason, as a false accusation
of treason is ipso facto treasonous.

This too is a good idea, more as part of a plea bargain. As written,
it sounds to me like an automatic termination, never mind the trial.
Of course, as an old mid-90s show said, "All suspects are guilty!
Otherwise, they wouldn't be suspects."

It could also simply be a sign of poor judgment. An otherwise loyal
Citizen who exhibits such poor judgment is obviously unsuitable for
positions of responsibility in Alpha Complex and such lapses should be
noted at promotion time.

Are you suggesting that it would be appropriate for a known traitor to
escape termination through some sort of "plea bargain" scheme?

It would be more expedient to combine them both. The accused is terminated to avoid the lengthy expense of a trial, and the disruption such a farce would bring to Alpha Complex (after all, if the Citizen weren't guilty, there wouldn't be charges). To balance the need for swift-justice against the possibility that the Citizen might in-fact have been innocent, the Computer should then immediately bring charges of perjury against the accuser. The accused (nee accuser) would then be terminated to avoid the lengthy expense of a trial for perjury, and the disruption such a farce would bring to Alpha Complex.
