The arrest of the king of the Society for Creative Anachronism’s East Kingdom on a charge of second degree murder was a startling piece of news, and many came here to read more about it — the SCA only announced they had expelled him from membership due to a “criminal investigation,” leading fans to search other sources for details about the charges.
