Verification

Verification was a law that was conducted by the Vulcan civilization.

This was used in cases of murder where the suspect became their own witness. It involved a circle of Healers who sought the truth from the suspects own mind. Should the person resist than they were quick Tal-Shaya as a merciful form of execution though this only occured in cases where the suspect hide their shameful thoughts. Whilst Vulcan was noted for not experiencing any crime, the Verification was still considered a respectful law.

The technique itself involved a group of healers who mind melded with the subject and forced them to open layer upon layer of their mind until they found the truth or falsity of their claim. In 2267, Sendet was facing Verification after a number of murders in the Vulcan Science Academy.
