Chapter 3015 The ghost in the distance (twenty)
If the police in Gotham City also pay so much attention to the detection rate, then the murder case made by "Joker" may also be closed like Gideon's case. An eyewitness saw someone with a criminal record wandering around the scene. The police went to arrest the gangster based on the testimony of eyewitnesses.
When cross-examining, it is easy to get contradictory statements from witnesses, but such contradictory statements are, in the common law system, only a weak impeachable proof of the witness's credibility.
For example, a witness who said that he was wearing yellow clothes on the day of the crime was actually blue clothes. The source of this contradiction may be due to the defects of observation and memory. Errors caused by deviations do not have the motivation and conditions to lie, and psychological knowledge is required to expose them if necessary.
There are differences in the perception of human beings in dangerous and non-dangerous situations. When the "clown" 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, recall carefully, is it 6 or 7? This is critical testimony, since a normal revolver only has 6 rounds.
But the crux of the matter 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 is not found, this key evidence will not be presented, and no one will know that the murder weapon is a lost police pistol.
Gideon's defense lawyer quickly discovered the "flaw" after visiting the scene. Not only was the billiard room very dark, but there was also a billboard blocking Cook's view, not to mention the broken window glass. Gideon, who worked in the pool room, has a key. Does he need to break the window to enter the pool room?
Gideon's defense attorneys then found a second witness, a taxi driver, based on Cook's testimony.
Cook did not lie at this point, the driver did take Gideon, but the driver described Gideon as not carrying a bottle of wine and a large amount of coins. The billiard room only accepts coins, although it is only $65, which is far less than a $100 bill, but it is a large bag, which will be very conspicuous, not in a trouser pocket.
The lawyer then told the jury that Cook had a criminal record, which was different from the first time Gideon questioned Cook about whether he had a criminal record.
Cook faltered and said no, this is the current lying, and it is not in the "prohibited exception against the use of evidence of sex to prove the behavior of consistent character", so the testimony of the key witness is not admissible, so Gideon was released on the spot up.
When Pomona came to the cellar door, she found that Lucius Malfoy was leaving arrogantly, and she quickly hid aside.
Seeing the scheming smile on his face, she felt that something was wrong. She arrived at the Potions classroom as quickly as possible, and Snape was staring gloomyly at the front in a daze.
He quickly sensed Pomona's arrival, and quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.
She immediately thought of his "childhood". Not only did he join the Death Eaters, but he also did a lot of bad things with Lucius Malfoy.
If she lost control at this time and screamed that she should stop fooling around with Malfoy, it might backfire.
"Did Lucius come to play 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?" asked Pomona.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Pomona waited patiently, even if she was ready, he wouldn't tell the truth.
"Do you know why Dumbledore refused to be Minister of Magic and become Headmaster of Hogwarts?" Snape asked.
"He loves being around the kids," Pomona said.
He sneered.
"You don't believe it?" Pomona asked.
"You really believe it?" he asked back.
If she didn't know that Dumbledore covered up some of their actions in order to include James and Sirius who resisted 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 Biscuits," said Pomona. "I'm here to tell you that."
His eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time.
"He's not as complicated as you think, Severus, don't you think it's a joy to be surrounded by children?"
"You know what you remind me of when you say that? Santa Claus at the mall with kids lining up to take pictures with him at Christmas," he said meanly.
"Dumbledore didn't like taking pictures," Pomona recalled, "and I don't think he would let children sit on his lap."
Snape seemed to find her unreasonable, and turned to the office.
"But he does seem to have a Santa's robe," said Pomona, running after him, "but it's a little darker than Santa's red."
"You don't know what kind of man he is, do you?" Snape said, looking back impatiently.
"What do you think he's like, Severus," Pomona asked calmly.
He gritted his teeth for a long time, and stood holding his desk in frustration.
"You think it's right to sacrifice one human being for the greater good?" Snape asked.
"So you think it's right to sacrifice someone else's life to save your own?" Pomona asked.
"There is a story that four people went sailing one day, but unfortunately they were shipwrecked. Fortunately, they all got into lifeboats, but they had no fresh water, only two cans of pickled radishes." Snape said slowly, "They headed They didn't eat anything for three days, and on the fourth day they caught a turtle, but it didn't hold up to their rescue."
"I know the story you told." Pomona said calmly, "Because they were so 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 means being released. They were sentenced to 6 months in prison by the King's Bench Court, and they were supposed to be hanged." Snape said coldly, "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 for 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 damage and the interests we protect need to be balanced. If it cannot meet the conditions of interest balance, the behavior is not allowed.
Grindelwald "justified" war with the Muggles to prevent Muggles from destroying the world, as he inscribed "for the greater good" in German on the skull hookah.
Sometimes people feel that the second Dark Lord is inferior to him, perhaps 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 go back.
And he didn't listen to others' advice, because he was thirsty and drank sea water, so he was weaker than others.
He couldn't take it anymore, so why not help him end the pain sooner?
In addition to the people waiting to be slaughtered, there were three people who voted for this proposal, two agreed without hesitation, and one insisted on conscientious objection, but although he didn't do anything, he still shared the flesh and blood of the young man, but he became an adult after landing. Key witnesses were found and two others were charged with murder.
This is another form of Kananders' board, but it is different from the strong pushing the weak away, but it is also an instinctive response for survival.
If human beings seriously want to do something, there are few things they can't accomplish.
Of course, the people on the shore are not like the people in the sea. They have enough food and fresh water. This mainly involves another issue. As long as specific procedures are passed, no matter what the result is, it can be regarded as legitimate.
What if the three conspired to say that the boy gave his life voluntarily?
Others would applaud him for being brave in doing so, why should "consent" be so morally different?
Murder is murder, and Trinity killed a lot of unsuspecting cops despite her reasons.
She didn't do it for legitimate defense and to save her own life, but there are too few people in "Zion", and they need more people to "liberate" human beings from the matrix.
She had to do that, and she did, but would those who depend on the Matrix and don't want to see the "real world" appreciate her?
This is another form of the prisoner's dilemma, the difference is that this "cage" is not a prison, and the prisoners cannot trust each other, so no one can leave.
"You know, they have other options," Pomona said.
"What choice?" Severus asked.
At this time, the movie has reached the point where Neo meets the "prophet".
"I'll wait until I finish this part," Pomona said, and then sighed as she watched the Prophet bake cookies, knowing she would have bought some popcorn and entered the arena.
