I'm picking up what you're throwing down but using as an example something that's been in the public domain for centuries was kind of silly in a teehee way.
We trap their souls in a time cube at accusation, allow them to do what they want until trial, and after the trial if the verdict is guilty we activate the cube which will bring them back to the accusation time and they can be shunned accordingly. There is no flaw in this plan. Except, of course, for the Time Slime.
Your honor I work 70 hours a week in retail I don't have time to watch movies.
