Chapter 3015 The ghost in the distance (20)
If the police in Gotham City also pay so much attention to the detection rate, then the murder case caused by the "Joker" may also be closed like Gideon's case. A witness saw someone with a criminal record wandering near the scene.
The police arrested the gangster based on the testimony of eyewitnesses.
When conducting cross-examination, it is easy to obtain contradictory testimony from witnesses, but in the common law system, such contradictory statements are only a weak proof of impeachment of the witness's credibility.
For example, a witness said that he was wearing yellow clothes on the day of the crime, but he was actually wearing blue clothes. The source of this contradiction may be due to defects in observation and memory. The unjust case occurred not because the witness deliberately perjured himself, but because the witness was undoubtedly
Errors caused by bias do not have the motivation or conditions for lying, and require psychological knowledge to expose them when necessary.
There are differences in human perception in dangerous and non-dangerous situations. When the "Joker" met the three young people on the train, they were "joking" with the woman who later became a witness, and then she heard 1,2
,3,4,5,6 gunshots.
Wait, think carefully, was it 6 or 7? This is a very crucial testimony, because an ordinary revolver only has 6 bullets.
But the key to the problem is that no matter who is the murderer, even if there is no camera, the bullets left in the body can be used as evidence to solve the case.
Only if the murderer cannot be found, this key evidence will not be presented, and no one will know that the murder weapon is the lost police pistol.
Gideon's defense lawyer quickly discovered the "flaw" after visiting the scene. The billiard room was not only dark, but also had a billboard blocking Cook's view. Moreover, the window glass was broken.
Gideon, who worked in the billiards room, has a key. Does he need to break the window to enter the billiards room?
Gideon's defense attorney then found a second witness, a taxi driver, based on Cook's testimony.
Cook did not lie on this point. The driver did take Gideon, but the driver described that Gideon did not bring a wine bottle or a large number of coins. The billiard room only accepted coins, although it was only $65, which was far less than a ticket.
The $100 banknotes are in a large bag and will be very conspicuous instead of being placed in your pants pocket.
The lawyer then told the jury that Cook had a criminal record, which was different from the first time Gideon cross-examined Cook about whether he had a criminal record.
Cook hesitated and said no. This was current lying and was not included in the "prohibited exception against the use of evidence to prove consistent conduct." Therefore, the testimony of the key witness was not admissible, and Gideon was released on the spot.
Already.
When Pomona came outside the cellar door, she found Lucius Malfoy leaving arrogantly, and she quickly hid aside.
Seeing the successful smile on his face, she felt that something was wrong. She arrived at the potions classroom as quickly as possible, where Snape was looking ahead in a daze with a gloomy face.
He quickly noticed Pomona's arrival, and then quickly turned his attention elsewhere.
She immediately remembered what happened when he was "a child". Not only did he join the Death Eaters, but he also did countless bad things with Lucius Malfoy.
If she lost control of her emotions at this time and screamed to stop hanging out with Malfoy, I'm afraid it would have the opposite effect.
"Lucius is playing with you?" Pomona asked with a smile.
"I don't have that much time." Snape said coldly, throwing a thick book aside.
"What's he doing here?" Pomona asked.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Pomona waited patiently, even though she was prepared that he wouldn't tell the truth.
"Do you know why Dumbledore refused to become the Minister of Magic and the Headmaster of Hogwarts?" Snape asked.
"He loved being around the kids," Pomona said.
He sneered.
"You don't believe it?" Pomona asked.
"Do you really believe that?" he asked.
If she hadn't known that Dumbledore had covered up some of their actions in order to recruit James and Sirius, who were resisting the Death Eaters and pure-bloods, into the Order of the Phoenix.
"He's an old fool with a sweet tooth," Pomona said.
"What kind of 'old fool' would defeat two Dark Lords?" Snape asked.
"The new password to the principal's office is Ginger Salamander Cookies," Pomona said. "I'm here to tell you this."
His eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time.
"He's not as complicated as you think, Severus. Don't you find it joyful to be surrounded by children?"
"You know what you remind me of when you say that? Santa Claus in the mall on Christmas Day with kids lining up to take pictures with him," he said meanly.
"Dumbledore didn't like having his picture taken with people," Pomona recalled, "and I don't think he would let children sit on his lap."
Snape seemed to find her unreasonable and turned around and walked to the office.
"But he does seem to have a Santa Claus robe." Pomona chased after him and said, "But it's a little darker than the red Santa Claus wears."
"You don't know what kind of person he is, do you?" Snape turned around and said unbearably.
"What do you think he is? Severus." Pomona asked calmly.
He gritted his teeth for a long time and stood holding on to his desk in frustration.
"Do you think it is right to sacrifice one person for the happiness of more people?" Snape asked.
"Then you think it's right to sacrifice the lives of others to save your own?" Pomona asked.
"There is a story. One day four people went sailing, but they encountered a shipwreck. Fortunately, they all got on the lifeboat, but they had no fresh water and only had two cans of pickled radishes." Snape said slowly, "They had their heads cut.
They didn't eat anything for three days, and on the fourth day they caught a turtle, but it didn't support their rescue."
"I know the story you told." Pomona said calmly, "Because they were too hungry, they killed the weakest crew member and ate his body until they were rescued. Later, Queen Victoria pardoned them."
"It's not an amnesty, an amnesty is a release. They were sentenced to six months in prison by the Court of Queen's Bench, and they were originally going to be hanged." Snape said coldly, "Do you think that in order to let more people live, that
Was the crew right to make the 'sacrifice'?"

In Bentham's utilitarianism, maximizing public welfare or collective happiness is not only for individuals, but also applies to communities, that is, collections of members.
When we want to "justify" something, in addition to appropriateness, necessity and need, there is another dimension. The interests we harm and the interests we protect need to be balanced. If it cannot meet the conditions of balance of interests, then the behavior
is not allowed.
Grindelwald "justified" the war with the Muggles as a way to prevent the Muggles from destroying the world, just like the words he inscribed in German on the skull hookah "for the greater good."
Sometimes people feel that the second Dark Lord is inferior to him. This may be because Grindelwald still abides by the rules of the human world.
On that ship, the crew member who was eaten was a 17-year-old orphan. Unlike other crew members, he had a family waiting for them to return.
Moreover, he did not listen to other people's advice, because he drank seawater when he was thirsty, so he was weaker than others.
He can't hold on any longer, so why not help him end his pain as soon as possible?
In addition to the people waiting to be slaughtered, this proposal also had three people voting on it. Two agreed without hesitation, and one insisted on conscientious objection. However, although he did not take action, he still shared the boy's flesh and blood, but he became a
A key witness was identified and two others were charged with murder.
This is another form of Cana Anders' board, but it's different from the strong pushing the weak away, but it's the same instinctive reaction for survival.
If human beings seriously want to do something, it is rare that they cannot complete it.
Of course, people on the shore are not like people in the sea. They have plenty of food and fresh water. This mainly involves another issue. As long as specific procedures are passed, any result can be regarded as legitimate.
What if the three colluded and said the boy gave his life voluntarily?
Others will praise him as brave for doing so. Why can asking for "consent" make such a moral difference?
Murder is murder, and Trinity killed many unsuspecting police officers despite her own reasons.
She was not doing it for legitimate defense to save her own life, but because there were too few people in "Zion" and they needed more manpower to "liberate" humans from the matrix.
She had to do that, and she did it, but will those who rely on the matrix and are unwilling to see the "real world" appreciate her?
This is another form of prisoner's dilemma. The difference is that this "cage" is not a prison. The prisoners cannot trust each other, and therefore no one can leave.
"You know, they actually have other options," Pomona said.
"What choice?" Severus asked.
At this time, the movie has already reached the scene where Neo meets the "prophet".
"Wait until I finish reading this paragraph." Pomona said, then looked at the cookies baked by the prophet and sighed. She had known that she should buy popcorn and enter the venue.
