>>92914306Gems are based on the perfectionist ideology meaning any flaw must be eliminated thus if a gem breaks protocol they are always shattered end of discussion.
This is like if humans literally killed any criminal regardless of what crime they commited like stealing flowers from a vase out of nowhere.
The point of innocent until proven guilty only works if you have a prison system, if you just kill criminals then its pointless thus a lawyer system is pointless as well. The Zircons are only there to prove the gem commited the infraction so they get shattered not actually defend the gems, and besides at the end of the day its the diamond who decide who dies in the first place.
I wonder if its illegal to lie to the diamonds.
