Due Process is Due for a Revival

In a leaked memo from the Ministry of Magic, Minister Galanis calls for the suspension of British wizarding citizens rights if they are deemed Death Eaters. Who is to make this decision of guilt if not the Wizengamot in a fair trial? Why surely all those new law enforcement officials they're hiring and throwing out into the field with minimal training and heaps of encouragements to hex first and ask questions later will be fine chaps when it comes to deciding whether a citizen is a Death Eater or simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.



Minister Galanis' short time in office is already raising hairs, as many of her opponents say she brings shame to the position of Minister for Magic. Anti-Galanis protesters have already begun to organize marches to to defend what they say is their Merlin-given right as a wizarding citizen of Britain. Others back the Minister's actions, saying that liberty comes at a price. One supporter, Maxwell Fishell III of Padstow, voiced his opinion, stating "if you ain't guilty, you ain't got nuthin' to worry 'bout." Others, like Lucinda Merryspree of Leeds, claims "this is a gross overstep of the government's reach." Whatever the opinion, one thing is for sure. There's a leak in the Ministry of Magic.

Dark Mark
Shines Again

Monday evening after 10:30pm, a call was placed to muggle authorities regarding a possible home invasion in Chittlehampton. Muggle police discovered the mutilated bodies of four of the five Netherly family. The bodies of Archibald Netherly, 41, and his wife Agatha, 38, had been bound and gagged in the kitchen of their Mayflower Cl home. Their two youngest children, Caroline, 10, and Daphne, 8, were tucked into their beds, postmortem. The Netherly’s eldest daughter, Bethany, 15, was away at school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and is being placed under protective custody.

Magical Law Enforcement spokesperson Harold Walberger says that the use of the Imperius Curse was evident in Mrs Netherly, who was forced to slit the throats of her children before laying them in their beds as Mr Netherly looked on, reportedly already restrained. Archibald and Agatha were then tortured via the Cruciatus Curse before being murdered. The Dark Mark was hanging above the Chittlehampton home after initial reports were made by neighbors, but before muggle police arrived and MLE officers were dispatched, leading investigators to believe the murderer remained in the area until officials arrived. Walberger is attributing the murders to the terrorist group known as Death Eaters.

Hit Wizards were dispatched to modify all muggle witness’ memories of the events and remove the signal of He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. This attack marks the third Death Eater claimed attack this year.
