How does one get tried for treason?
Historically, firing squad.
That's the consequence, not the trial.
Oh right. They dunk the accused in a lake (called ducking) and if they drown they are innocent, if they manage to swim to the surface they're guilty and face execution.
Found Samuel Alito's account.
In a pinch you can also see if they weigh the same as a duck.
That’s too much work, just build a bridge out of them.
It used to be the trial and consequence, paired together.
