So since it was his brother that stabbed him why was his brother arrested? After all they knew eachother so you can't really count it as a crime...right, Shanie?

It's not like it was a random stabbing or nothin. He knew who the target was. Right Shanie?

You are right about Shanie, but she would have no impact at all if three people on the Council (instead of two) had some sense and some guts. If Shanie ever admits there's a crime epidemic, she's going to have to admit what group is responsible for most of it. That will never happen. Admit no crime, and point no fingers.
