But I do think that an related AP at the curb outside is entitled to a trial before the death ray is unleashed against it.
Some laws that are broken require one to remain in jail until trial completion, whenever one is found to be a threat to other members of society. So in a virtual society perhaps virtual cell walls would be appropriate ?
