The Chronicles reports that during the trial of Bradflea vs People last night, Knight Nino was accused of protecting his friend or paymaster by lying to other knights.
Citizens of Ireem would recall that a few days ago the Knight HQ was burnt down. A suspect was arrested and it was Bradflea from the Desert Guards, henchman of the Bedouin's co-leader Eve. According to insider's source, Bradflea was order by the Bedouins leadership to burn down the HQ in revenge for the knights arresting Eve and several other well known Bedouin criminals.
However, when the crime was reported, curiously Knight Nino dismissed the report out of hand, claiming that Bradflea didn't do it despite a number of independent witnesses. Some witnesses claimed that the Bedouin Leader Antar had been talking to Nino and suggested to dismiss the reports before the formal investigation took place.
Despite the fact that the initial case had been dismissed, Bradflea's conscience got the better of him and he confessed to the crime. During the trial, when asked who was protecting him from being accused of the crime, Bradflea very clearly said Nino was the one who lied to protect the Bedouin arsonist. He was quoted as saying, " Nino lied to people that I actually did set the fire but I have a conscience and want to clear it by coming clean."
It seems that there are much deeper issues existing within the knights. How much longer can this favoritism continue? Imagine yourself if you are not a friend of the powerful knights. We, the Chronicles, are proud to be the voice for the voiceless in the city and we strongly condemn this corrupt practice by the people who are supposedly here to protect the citizens!
