This is no longer the case, as the law was changed to allow evidence of "bad character" a few years back. Mrjonno wrote:Generally previous criminal records are not relevant in a trial except for sentencing (at least in the UK) you are judged on the facts of the crime itself. If we can give some suspects anonymity we can do it for them all. This does not mean that the press are stifled, it just means that we get closer to a fairer jury and not having the lives of falsely accused people ruined by paid gossip-mongers.
While I am not saying we should censor the press, if we truly beleive that people should be considered innnocent until judged otherwise and have a fair trial it behooves us to give suspects anonymity. Once having invested time upon reading such news (often heavily agendised in the first place) in order to construct opinion it does not seem to me that many of those involved in such speculation would easily shed their bias in the face of evidence, rather those who see it would either deny it's relevance (if it is contrary to the bias they have) or use it to further legitimise such bias. Some grainy heavily edited footage and some testimony from biased witnesses has lead to a lot of outrageous pro and anti-Israeli sentiment and breathtakingly dumb conjecture in which people are making claims about boat loads of Suicidal Jihadists and Israeli troops acting like Darth Vader's stormtroopers, based on very little. I don't think we need to look very far to see evidence of this. To me it seems that media fuelled preconceptions about suspects can be so overwhelming as to deeply influence such trials. You may think that, perhaps I'm more cynical. Many voices can be raised, by people who have different degrees of separation from the issues. The dragon soon died in front of the walls of Harrenhal.Byron wrote:Overcompensation is a worry, but that's why we have a dozen jurors. Somehow, Caraxes managed to live long enough to pull himself out of the water and onto the shore, even though his entrails were falling out and one of his arms had been torn clean off. Vhagar did not survive the force of the fall.
While in freefall, even as Vhagar's claws opened up Caraxes's belly and used her teeth to tear off one of his wing-arms, Caraxes locked his teeth onto the larger dragon's throat and tore it out. At the end of the fight, Vhagar locked with Caraxes and they fell into the Gods Eye. All four were killed in the ensuing Battle Above the Gods Eye. Ītop Caraxes later in the civil war, Daemon challenged Aemond Targaryen and Vhagar at Harrenhal. Īt the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Daemon landed Caraxes atop Kingspyre Tower during the assault on Harrenhal. Huge crowds came to see both dragons everywhere they went. After Daemon remarried to Lady Laena Velaryon, the newly wed toured the Free Cities of Essos with their dragons Caraxes and Vhagar. During those years, Daemon divided his time between the Stepstones and Dragonstone where he would often fly with his niece, Princess Rhaenyra, and her dragon Syrax.
ĭaemon used Caraxes during the War for the Stepstones ( 106– 115 AC). Daemon took his paramour Mysaria with him on Caraxes when he retreated from King's Landing for Dragonstone. Daemon the Rogue Princeīy 105 AC, Aemon's nephew, Prince Daemon Targaryen, had claimed Caraxes as his mount. Caraxes was eating goats when Prince Aemon was killed by a crossbow bolt in the throat. Caraxes easily outdistanced the Velaryon fleet led by Lord Corlys Velaryon in the process. When rogue Myrmen invaded parts of the island of Tarth in 92 AC, Aemon flew to the island on Caraxes's back to help lords Cameron Tarth and Boremund Baratheon fight back the invaders. Īemon used Caraxes against the Dornish fleet during the Fourth Dornish War in 83 AC. The Targaryen siblings Alyssa, Baelon and Aemon liked to fly together on their dragons ( Meleys, Vhagar, and Caraxes respectively). The Dragonkeepers considered him to be the fiercest of all the young dragons of the Dragonpit and nicknamed him the "Blood Wyrm". History Aemon the Prince of DragonstoneĪemon Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone and heir apparent of the Iron Throne, claimed Caraxes for the first time in 72 AC. Meleys was faster than both Caraxes and Vhagar. Meanwhile, Vhagar was three times the size of younger dragons such as Tessarion or Seasmoke. During the Dance of the Dragons, Caraxes was about half the size of the huge Vhagar. In battle he was formidable, fearsome, and experienced.
