 * Yellow Class, the verdict is . . . .**

We, the cardinals, believe the defense team's argument, regarding the Canon Law not applying to Martin Luther, was invalid. The defense team stated Martin Luther has already been excommunicated, meaning he is no longer a part of the Catholic Church and does not need to obey the Canon Law; however, this trial was supposed to determine whether or not he should be excommunicated. Hence, on the counts of inciting members of the Catholic Church to rebel against the authority and established doctrines of the universal Christian Church and willfully denying the authority of the Pope and the Catholic Church, we find Martin Luther guilty. As a result, this case shall be transferred to civil authorities for a civil trial; a sentence will be administered thereafter.
