I'm not sure about the process itself, but from what I've heard, it was 
long overdue.
There was definitely a lot of documentation to the process and as a friend 
put it,
it wasn't for any one incident of Aveloc's but a "lifetime achievement 
award" for
all the harm he'd done.

Be careful reading this.  It's obviously very prejudiced (not that I blame 
him) but
highly misleading.  As one "for instance", there's a accusation of him 
attacking
and holding someone's head underwater at a Lillies War.  The accusation letter
states "some 3 years ago", to which his response was "I wasn't even at Lillies
3 years ago".  Sounds like a smear tactic unless you know that letter was 
written
a few years ago so it was 3 years *from the time of the letter* and the 
incident
he's trying to side step had many other witnesses.  Hard to forget doing
something like that to a person.

The BoD seems to move *very* slowly and cautiously in things of this nature.
Having been involved in similar proceedings here in this kingdom, all I can 
say is
if they actually went through with it, it was most likely due to 
overwhelming evidence.
