Chapter 3019 The ghost in the distance (twenty-four)

It is said that multiple personality patients have many different handwritings, one for each personality, as if unique to each person, even though the words are written by one body.

Even so, there are ways to tell, the members of Young England use the same paper, and the ink is similar in colour. Everyone has different habits, and there isn't always one place for everyone to buy paper and ink.

Among so many personalities, there are those who are manic and weak in intelligence, and there are also those with superior intelligence and strong learning ability like the later John Freeman. But nowadays, few people are going to explore his story, unless they turn out the dossier that has been dusted for many years like she and the old bat did.

In the story of "Joker", Arthur came to the mental hospital to search for his own files to confirm one thing, whether he was adopted or not.

When he put his mother into the ambulance, the ambulanceman asked him how long he hadn't seen his mother.

It is normal for children not to live with their parents when they grow up. On the contrary, it is difficult for children to live with their mothers as adults, especially men, who are prone to attract "judgmental" eyes.

Arthur is taking care of his mother, but people don't pay attention to such "details".

Under Ray's influence, in 1869 the New Hampshire Supreme Court established a new rule that if the murder was the product of the defendant's mental illness, the jury should not decide whether to be "not guilty by reason of insanity" "Rules of right and wrong", whether there is delusion, is not deliberate or cunning when planning and executing a murder, but only considers the disease and whether the behavior is a product of the disease.

There was also a Durham rule in 1954. Mon Durham once joined the navy, but he was considered unfit to serve in the navy because of his abnormal personality. Later, he was in and out of mental hospitals and prisons for a long time. , Before that, he took a test, and it was a combination of psychotic state and psychotic personality.

Washington state, where he was arrested, does not recognize the New Hampshire rule, but still implements the McNaughton rule, and Durham can use bad checks to cheat. And the district still uses the "uncontrollable impulse" rule used after 1886, accepted in American courts as the MacNutton rule but not in British courts.

"Uncontrollable impulse" is a pathological impulse, and both Hetfield and Osford belong to this category. But the British judge felt that this was ridiculous. For example, the defendant wanted to kill a cat, and he couldn’t resist his impulse. The judge said, what if you let a policeman stand by your side? The defendant said no, so there is the "law of the police close at hand". In other words, if the police are close at hand, but still unable to control the impulse to commit crimes, this is the "uncontrollable impulse".

The jury basically judged based on common sense. "Uncontrollable impulse" is suspected of inducing its misfortune and gaining sympathy, but it still received more support than the New Hampshire rules.

To put it simply, if the defendant can obtain a psychiatrist's appraisal and prove that he has this disease, he can be innocent. Both the Durham Rules and the New Hampshire Rules are product laws. The difference is that the Durham Rules are the New Hampshire Rules. modern version.

Its advantage is that it is convenient and quick, as long as the defendant can obtain professional witnesses or a psychiatric diagnosis, the jury does not need to spend a lot of time identifying what is in the mind of a mental patient.

Before the Durham case, only 0.4% of the cases in Washington were acquitted due to insanity, and by 1961 it had surged to 14.4%. In addition, in the assassination of Reagan in 1981, the murderer Hinckley was identified as mentally ill. abnormal.

The "Joker" is guilty of multiple murders, which is why Arthur ends up in a mental institution instead of prison, he has a certificate of mental illness, and he didn't get it "suddenly", but has been ill for many years.

Another thing is that he publicly killed the talk show host on TV. The police were not in the studio at the time, but if the police were there, would he still do it?

In the second year after 1887, the famous "Jack the Ripper" appeared in London, England. He knew that he had attracted the attention of the society and the police were hunting him, but he still continued to commit crimes. Is he a serial killer or a mental disorder?

If he wasn't caught, there would be no way to interrogate him, but not every serial killer is psychotic.

There are even serial killers who want to pretend to be mentally abnormal to avoid guilt, and there are psychiatrists who testify for them in order to use them as research subjects, but these are basically plots in novels, such as "The Silence of the Lambs".

In the discussion that determines Parker's life and death, Parker has no right to participate, and can only watch a few adults "discuss", regardless of whether he is hopeless or insane.

Life does not lose its meaning because of the brevity of the remaining time, and the pigs waiting to be slaughtered will also enjoy "hospice care" and listen to music to take a bath, which is called "humane slaughter".

The point is that they said "Think about your family" when they were discussing, and Parker is an orphan that no one misses. Why is no one mentioning God at this time?

Pomona felt that the six-month sentence was too light, but that it would do little to keep them in jail for longer.

"Albus and I talked about invisible pain," Pomona said. "The pain that befalls the mind, the soul, is more painful than the death that befalls the body."

"Do you think he could forgive Muggles?" Snape asked. "His father did not forgive them."

This is what Pomona thought when he first watched "The Godfather", a father who avenges his daughter, he is willing to do anything, even if it will make him associate with criminals and crimes, he was once such an "innocent" person.

"I can tell you a lot of legal theories, but let me tell you, I never think it's wrong for Percival to avenge his daughter." Pomona said softly, "Even if the whole world doesn't forgive him."

"His sister, Arianna, is innocent," Snape said. "Do you agree?"

She began to recall what they had discussed in the first place.

"Do you know what kind of man Dumbledore was?" Snape asked.

She remembered, and then discussed the topic of sacrifice. For the happiness of the majority, is it right to sacrifice one person?

"Being a 'saint' is prestigious, even if he suffers a lot for it," Pomona whispered. "That's better than being unknown."

He was silent.

"Do you want to be a 'sinner'?" Pomona asked, looking him in the eyes. "And then go to Azkaban and be neighbors to dementors."

He curled his mouth.

"Like Sirius Black."

"You think you're luckier than him?" Pomona asked.

He wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

"Remember how I told you that scholars don't rely on luck," said Pomona.

He showed a rebellious expression.

She wondered if she should continue the debate.

In "Dangerous Liaisons", Valmont and Mrs. Meadow care too much about the outcome, and they both lose.

Her purpose is to let him stay, so winning or losing, right or wrong is not the most important thing right now.

"You're smart, Severus, and you're very disciplined, which is what makes you better than Sirius," Pomona said.

"Maybe I don't want to follow the rules as much as he does." He said grimly, "It's just that Dumbledore chose me."

"You're still an Occlumency master," Pomona continued. "I thought you could control your emotions."

He looked at her dissatisfied.

It has been said that a man's degree of dissatisfaction is inversely proportional to the distance from what he ardently desires.

A beggar will not be jealous of a millionaire, but will be jealous of a beggar who "earns" more than him, because the millionaire is too far away from him.

What would Snape most desperately want now?

Could it be Sirius's prominent family background and handsome appearance?

She racked her brains to think of compliments to him, and it took her a long time to calm him down, not as angry as before.

Malfoy is the school manager, he has the right to enter and leave the school freely, this time she has coaxed him well, what will happen next time he comes again?

This is not something that a mere teacher of hers can solve. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, let's talk about it at that time.
