Law and Order in Sekiya, day 2

What are considered normal and legal ways of gathering evidence and determining guilt? Is torture allowed? Truth spells? Are arbitrary judgements by the lord or landowner allowed, or is there a standard that they are supposed to follow?

Evidence found at the scene of the crime is fair game, as is witness testimony. However, if the evidence is tampered with in any way, is is rendered inadmissable.

Torture is not allowed, and neither are forced confessions via the truth spell, Eye of Knowledge (a Spirit spell that determines whether the target is speaking the truth. It can also be used to manipulate the target into telling the truth.) Eye of Knowledge can, however, be used as a lie detector test if the judge determines one is needed.

Arbitrary judgements are not allowed--the suspect is innocent until proven guilty
