- "Cor-ai" (season 1)
The traditional trial of the Byrsa, in which the victim accuses directly. Teal'c is judged there for a killing committed when he served Apophis.
Overview
No lawyer, no written evidence: the accuser speaks, the accused answers, and the council decides. Hanno names Teal'c as the man who killed his father.
Worth knowing
Teal'c refuses to defend himself: he did commit the killing. The episode raises the question that follows him through the whole series: can a Jaffa's past be redeemed?
