I mean it sounds like a neat idea, but trials tend to be horrible. They always drag on longer than intended and are usually instigated by one person trying to alleviate their own boredom. Honestly for entertainment's sake a trial should only be held if the crime was interesting.
A epic 30-minute back and forth between the entire station and a clown traitor hopping between his clowncar and spacelube-mobile sounds like an amazing trial subject.
30 minutes of silent murder by Lazy McCloak'nPen is not.
Oh, actually on topic - heads in jars is always a good idea. You were dead anyways so DNR and suicide are always an option. I just have a thing with trials.
Yeah I'm more for the "simple" Borg style that heads in jars offer.
Personally, I think you should be able to attach brain jars to all sorts of stuff to allow them control over it. Like bots built for cleaning, or repairing breechs. Like Drones, but with more agency and personality. And by personality I mean instead of being cute and non-offensive, they're acrid assholes
