"We have given our terms to James through a neutral intermediary. He can accept them, or he can go to war. We think they are fair:

The city will immediately stop all trials by judge for cases worthy of a prison sentence or worse under the current "laws".
All trials will be by a jury of people randomly elected from the entire population, no matter their political allegiance, sex, gender, age, race, species or other such factors. They will decide guilt and punishment.

If the King accepts these terms and enforces them amongst his allies, we will hand over the Prison to the control of the Ram Revolution and allow it's use for detaining criminals going through this process.

Your move, James."
