Universal Court
GUILTY
After thinking about the decision of the universal government, Mel and his robot lawyer wanted to try again, They appealed the case, which is asking for different people to make a decision in a more important court. It was decided that Mel was allowed to go before the Universal Panel, who will come up with the final decision!
This case was decided by the use of an unfair amount of power! The universal government shouldn't be allowed to punish Mel like that!
The UNIVERSAL Panel
The Universal government has the explicit power, which is specifically mentioned in the universal book, to control inter-planet trade, but space rays in school zones is not under that power!
Mel's lawyer made their case before the Universal Panel, saying that the commerce clause, the law that gave the Universe government control over inter-planet trade, did not give them the power to make the Space Ray-Free School Zone Rule. Which meant they couldn't punish Mel.
