== JUDGMENT by Justice TheMainCharacter==
== Introduction ==

'''[1].''' The defendant is charged with 2 counts of hate speech, both in relation to the use of the word "retard" to refer to an individual.
== Evaluation of the relevant facts and law ==

'''[2].''' There are two parts of the charge necessary to be proven as per §1.2 of Article 72b of the Criminal Code; that a slur was used, and that it was directed at someone.

'''[3].'''  As established in ''krystiancbarrie'', the word retard is an insult generally applied to people with disabilities, and therefore a slur.

'''[4].''' In both instances, it is evident that the slur is directed at a person.
== Verdict ==

'''[5].''' The accused is found guilty of two counts of hate speech and is sentenced to a ban of one month.
