Man, this mission is some of the best Mass Effect stuff unrelated to Mordin. But the conclusion of the trial is a great example of why Bioware, I'm guessing, recognized the need to move away from Paragon/Renegade. Tali's trial sets up this great ethical dilemma of whether to respect Tali's wishes and get her exiled, or exonerate her at the cost of her trust. And then you can just... charisma check your way out of it. The third option of throwing the Admirals' political bullshit in their faces is neat, but the way it manifests systemically isn't great.
