The decision was not meant to be fair or rational, but to find some clever pretext to punish the greedy noble and reward the honest peasant.
The story is fiction of course, Vlad would not have presided over so small issues. The unjust nobles and noble peasants are also stereotypes of popular stories like this.

Right, and this isn't how the decision should be made. He shouldn't be trying to find a clever pretext to punish the person he doesn't like and reward the one he likes! Those kind of shenanigans rightly destroy the public's trust in the justice system.
- trabant00 5y agoAre you complaining that in the children books they kill the evil witch without a trial? Also what justice system? There was no such thing at the time. Might was right in the purest form possible. PS: are you making fun of me?
