Yeah, even when alignment is proof enough you still need trials, and a random person's magic sword isn't exactly reliable proof in itself.

Can it fail? Can it be tricked? Is it a magical effect, or a divine one?

What about people who have done horrible crimes but served their sentence?

You can't expect to wield supreme judicial power just cause you threw a sword at some watery tart.

Supreme judicial power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical abuse of a magic item. I mean, if I went around stabbing people just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
