He was released from the MoI, in front of the entire online Feldjager division. PieLard took pictures of him leaving the MoI. Instead of your Feld assisting him back to the ICC, they decided to stay and argue with the CO's of the NSB. He was then subsequently shot, basically out of field of vision of PieLard by a seperate entity entirely. There is no logical view you could even have to view PieLard as responsible here, the Major was released to the Feld, he was no longer in NSB custody.
That is like suggesting if you get arrested, taken to the police station, released by the police after their investigation, and when you're a block away from the police station you get shot that it is somehow the polices fault. It doesn't track, just screams either metagame or wishful thinking to me. The military involved had both PieLard and the Major in sight when the Major was shot, quite literally impossible for him to be placed at fault without intel suggesting otherwise. Based on every report I've looked at on this instance, that is not the case.
Most the reports I've seen regarding PieLard were signed by an invidiual of the name of "Bobb Pikemen", who I have personal experience with of totally fabricating documents/situations. This is fine, but it can not result in a PK, so I take all of the reports with his signature at very very low value in regards to a PK. Regardless, your own reports even state the NSB was attempting to make an arrest, the indiviudals who were being arrested RAN and the NSB pursued. You've essentially admiting to harboring a fugitive, which again is fine, and you could possibly argue this as a supporting point, but it is certainly not a strong one.
I believe these batch of reports were about the only ones to even list PieLard/Reto Stein by name. This is an interesting point to make, as I am not sure how you attributed the other actions to PieLard with majority of the other documents not even containing his name. Regardless, I think this is the only point of value or with decent enough documentation/investigation to back up. I'd commend the indiviudal who conducted this investigation as this was the only reason I didn't instanteously accept this appeal when I was reading over the documents.
Final Verdit: There is far too much fluff in here for me to be happy with, two of the three points are shaky and poor or just completely wrong. I think the best bet would have been to expand upon the 3rd point and really hammer in on that. I think witness statements are good, and the investigation itself is well conducted, however, it in and of itself is not quite enough to warrant a PK. I think further investigation either covertly or openly (with courts, Federal Council, etc) could have been conducted to really enforce this.
This appeal is accepted on these grounds. If either party has questions please DM me on Discord.
