Julian Einhorn (born 1680 in Elijah's Rest, died (executed) 1717) was a NorseHurmu nobleman, former officer of the Hurmu Peace Corps, businessman, and convicted murderer (executed). Named Prince among the Lakes in 1715 upon his grandmother's, Monica Oline Einhorn Likness's death, as his father Robin Einhorn had died a year earlier under then somewhat mysterious circumstances. Monica's death came also as a surprise but was initially attributed by Norse authorities to heart failure. Married to Stella (née Parelius, 1681) with two children, Valde (b. 1703) and Gjevjon (b. 1713). He was later found guilty of murder of his father and grandmother (see below).

At the instruction of His Majesty, the King of Normark, Julian was obliged to host the Benacian inestigator Aslan Arshak during the period of the formal inquiry into the death of his father. The inquiry ended during on the night between 8 and 9.XI.1716, when Arshak awoke while Prince Julian attempted to pack Arshak's mouth with snow. After managing to fight himself off Julian, Arshak understood he had been drugged, feeling dizzy and faint, and hallucinating. On 11.XI.1716, the Crown Prosecutor in Elijah's Rest charged Julian Einhorn with one count of attempted murder of Aslan Arshak, and two counts of murder (of his father, Robin Einhorn, and of his grandmother Monica Oline Einhorn Likness). A trial was scheduled to begin on 1.I.1717. Meanwhile, Prince Julian was brought into remand until trial could begin. Arshak was treated in hospital for minor injuries and released after one night.

Trial

  • 1.I.
    • On the first day of the trial, Prince Julian insisted that the courts refer to him by his Hurmu title of Prince among the Lakes, and that he was given the respect that would otherwise be afforded a foreign monarch.
    • Prince Julian sacked his own lawyer have the lawyer forgot to address Julian properly. Prosecutor attempted to nullify the sack of the lawyer, on the grounds that the lawyer was well-versed with the case and had built up a relationship with the accused for almost a year's time; as such, sacking the lawyer at this point was unreasonable and uncalled for. The court agreed, and the trial continued with Prince Julian having consistent representation.
    • The court decided to run exhume the bodies of Robin Einhorn and Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness and subject the bodies to forensic medical examination.
  • 2.I: Attempted murder on Aslan Arshak
    • Examination of forensic evidence
    • Medical forensic assessment of Mr Arshak's injuries, report and interview
    • Interview with the victim (Mr Arshak)
  • 3.I: Attempted murder on Aslan Arshak
    • Witness interviews
      • Police constable receiving Mr Arshak
      • Paramedics who were first on the scene
    • Prince Julian availed himself of the right of not testifying against himself.
  • 4.I: Exhumation of the bodies were conducted on this day, and the court adjourned itself until the medical forensic report was finished.
  • 18.I: Murder of Robin Einhorn and Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness.
    • Court back in session with a freshly printed medical examination for each of the two bodies.
    • Examination of report, with interviews with forensic medical examiners.
  • 19.I: Murder of Robin Einhorn and Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness
    • Examination of other forensic evidence.
  • 20.I: Murder of Robin Einhorn and Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness
    • Interview with Karen Einhorn, widow of Robin Einhorn and mother of the accused.
    • Interview with Stella Einhorn, estranged wife of the accused
    • Interview with Valde Einhorn, eldest son of the accused
    • Interview with Lennart Karlstedt, attendant to Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness.
    • Interview with Ika Mullgløden, attendant to Robin Einhorn
  • 21.I: Attempted murder of Aslan Arshak, murder of Robin Einhorn and Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness
    • Forensic psychiatric report released to the Court, and examined by the Court
    • The report indicated that the accused had probable grandiose delusions, along with a probable narcissistic personality disorder. There were also indications of neurodevelopmental disorder since childhood, but it could not be established by certainty.
  • 22.I: Final statements
    • Prosecution stated that it believed it had clearly and without doubt proved that the accused was guilty of all three crimes, that the motive of the murders was to bring more glory upon himself (with the accused having a fetish-like obsession for royal titles), and that the attempted murder of Mr Arshak was because Mr Arshak started to understand too much about what had actually transpired.
    • Defence stated that Prince Julian is a victim of circumstances, that there has been a vendetta from the Norse government to stop him from having too much power, because his royal Hurmu title is a threat to legality of rule of the King of Normark. The evidence against Prince Julian, included that of the attempted murder of Mr Arshak, is fabricated. Moreover, if the court should find him guilty, despite all this, then the court ought to consider the diminished psychological state in the accused, that he is suffering from psychiatric disorders and is not fully in control of his faculties.
    • Court then adjourned to write up its verdict.
  • 10.2: Verdict
    • The Court found Prince Julian guilty of one count of attempted murder (on Mr Arshak) and two counts of murder (on Princess Monica Oline Einhorn Likness and Robin Einhorn)
    • The Court found that all three crimes required plenty of time to plan and execute, and that there was evidence supporting extensive planning and even testing (on cats, horses, and sheep)
    • The Court found that the diminished psychological capacity in Prince Julian did not remove his culpability in the crimes; thus he could not be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
    • Moreover, Prince Julian is a man of at least average intelligence with every capability of making rational decisions. His delusions of grandeur, along with his narcissistic personality disorder, however, should be considered mitigating circumstances.
    • With Prince Julian belonging to the House of Einhorn, any punishment needs to be rendered by decree of the King. The Court recommended imprisonment for 17 years, with view to the seriousness of the three offences and with consideration to the diminished psychological state of Prince Julian before, during, and after the perpetration of the offences.
  • 11.2:
    • On review of the case, His Majesty condemned Julian Einhorn to death for the crimes of murder, attempted murder, parricide, and treason against the House of Einhorn and the natural order.
    • The sentence was performed on the day of judgement, with Julian Einhorn being taken to a forest clearing and stripped to the waist. He then received forty strikes of the lash before being strung up and hung from the tallest branch of a sturdy tree on a short rope, so as to ensure death by slow strangulation. In mitigation of the condemned's agony, after the elapse of the first hour, His Majesty delivered a mercy stroke by slicing the man's belly open, causing the entrails and viscera to spill out upon the snow.
