When Arthur laughs, especially when he "laughs" because he is nervous and out of control, his voice sounds crazy and harsh, as if he is a mentally ill person.

But he is still very sincere when he smiles. Can such a person be considered mentally ill?

In 1884, the Crown counsel who defended Dudley and Stephens had used the defense of necessity and insanity. However, the prosecution counsel, who was also the Crown counsel, considered the poor conditions on the lifeboat and suggested that the defendants should be pardoned in the end.

Cannibalism is indeed easily associated with mental disorder, and even causes physical disgust in many people, but it was indeed a "custom" that was generally accepted by society and belonged to sailors, and there was a process.

The first step was to draw lots. Dudley and the others discussed this issue on the tenth day of rafting and decided to draw lots to sacrifice one person to save the lives of the others. At that time, Parker had not yet drank seawater.

In fact, the situation was worse than that of Parker Stephens. He was older, and Parker's body weakened rapidly due to drinking sea water, and he was even weaker than Stephens, who was more likely to die than him.

On the sixteenth day of the rafting, Parker fell into a coma. Dudley proposed a "sensible choice" to the adult crew members who were not unconscious. Bruce, another key witness, chose to refuse, while Stephens agreed to Dudley's proposal.

It is precisely because of this maritime practice that Dudley, Stephens, and Bruce were not immediately imprisoned as "ogres" after returning to shore. The local police applied for an arrest warrant from the mayor in the name of murder on the high seas.

, the three were detained at the police station for a period of time and then released on bail.

Paying legal fees for Dudley and Stephen is also a public organization - sailors have to face this problem. If they are found guilty, according to the principle of "following precedent" in British and American common law, sailors who encounter the same situation in the future will also be punished.

Severe sentence.

The one who insisted on convicting them was Sir William Harcourt, who was the Home Secretary in Gladstone's cabinet at the time and before that was the Deputy Inspector General. When the Home Office received the case file, the three of them almost wanted to convict them.

They were released immediately. The local citizens supported their actions. In the face of the raging public opinion, Sir Harcourt could only postpone the sentence.

In the ancient Germanic era, crime was considered a private conflict between the offender and the victim. For current offenders, the victim of the crime and his family members had the right to arrest them, and even had the right to kill them on the spot without proceeding. However, arrests

The offender must then bring the murdered offender to court and press charges.

However, ancient Germanic law also included atonement by paying items to the victim, and in principle prohibited private individuals from enjoying bloody justice (blutgerichtsbarkeit).

It turns out that Parker is not an orphan in the complete sense. He also has a brother named Daniel. He even shook hands with the three Dudleys when he went to court.

The "Mignonette" sailed from Southampton to Sydney. Since 1851, the gold rush has caused a large number of people to move. The transportation system has consolidated the image of Britain as a powerful industrial civilization with unforgettable performance.

At the Crystal Palace International Exposition, the exhibition area reserved for the Anglo-American region was very remote. Apart from gold and cotton, what other industrial products could they display?

By 1854, gold mining in California was almost exhausted, but news of gold spread in Nevada and other areas, even in Australia.

In order to get rich overnight by digging gold, people rushed to board the ship. How could an orphan pay the ticket for the passenger ship?

The "Mignonette" was a cargo ship, and the Dudley trio were also detained due to "transportation losses" when they entered the customs. The Board of Trade was responsible for detaining them.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the mayor to sign an arrest warrant, but that day happened to be a weekend, and the murder took place on the high seas. The mayor quickly realized the international influence this case would bring, and immediately sent the case file to

Ministry of the Interior.

If Thomas Wayne becomes mayor, he really won't be able to sign an arrest warrant to let the police arrest workers involved in strikes, but he can sign other executive orders, such as cutting some social welfare expenditures and increasing funding for the police and prisons. Asia

Se's mother wants to take a medicine that can calm her nerves and treat her mania.

But this drug was forced to be discontinued due to cost cuts, not to mention what would happen if a manic patient took to the streets. Long-term use of that drug would make Arthur's mother's blood vessels like iced glass. Once it was discontinued,

The cold glass would fall into the boiling water, and soon she would suffer a stroke.

A strike means no income. Even if you don't spend money on shopping, you still need to buy food and medicine.

From the 12th century onwards, with the establishment of the public penalty system, criminal judicial power was transferred from the hands of the victims and their relatives to the hands of princes in various places, and private litigation and revenge were gradually replaced by public prosecution procedures.

One of the functions of public executions is to serve as a "warning" to warn those who want to make the same mistake of what will happen if they do those things, thus acting as a deterrent to crime.

Parker, Dudley, Stephens, and Bruce were originally on the same boat. They all faced the same danger and even hunted the turtle together.

But because Parker's "hope of survival" is lower than others, should he be sacrificed to save others?

If this is justified, then other people who encounter this situation in the future will use this standard instead of drawing lots. This will lead to a terrible result-the rationalization of killing, and it will also be abused by people, such as Stephens

, he was sicker than Mr. Parker, and he was older, preceded Parker in time, and had a lower "survival hope".

So the three people conspired to confess that Parker "voluntarily" sacrificed his life?

The case was called Queen v. Dudley and Stephens. Bruce was a witness and was not among those sentenced to hang.

Is he innocent? Although he disapproved of the actions of Dudley and Stephens, he still shared "a piece of the pie."

This involves what Bentham said about "punishing the innocent." The innocent usually refers to people who have not committed a crime. Of course, a person who commits a crime must be punished to a certain extent, but if the punishment is more severe than

It reflects the seriousness of the crime committed by the offender, and as far as the excess is concerned, it gives people the impression of being "partially" innocent.

Should a 12-year-old pickpocket be hanged? Will this prevent similar cases from continuing to occur?

When punishing guilty people, some innocent people will also be involved. No matter what Thomas Wayne did, Bruce was innocent, but he suffered the same fate as the guilty.

When he was enveloped by the malice and coldness of the world, a policeman gave him warmth and gave him a little hope in the world.

It was precisely because of the persistence of people like Sir Harcourt that that "maritime practice" did not continue.

Later people, even though they were floating on the sea, would feel a force preventing them from following "custom" and no longer feel that this was legitimate.

Even when the Titanic sank, people did not consider the issue of Cana Anders' plate. In order to gain the right to survive, the strong pushed the "weak" away, but let women and children get on the lifeboat first.

This is not advocating individual heroism, and the law does not force people to make sacrifices. The four options provided on Cana Anders' board also include the option of fighting each other and losing both sides.

It's just that people's life safety has been severely impacted, and people have made their own choices between instinctive reactions and "superego" reactions for survival, between "humans" and "animals".

If given the right guidance, black magic can also be used in the right direction, and she didn't want Severus to be led astray by his "former friend".

She didn't know how Albus did it and left him at Hogwarts. Now she wanted to do the same thing as him, but in her own way.

"Tell me, Severus, how do you define 'innocent'?" Pomona said.

"You blame me because I am a 'sinner'?" he asked rebelliously.

"No." She said firmly.

"Do you admit that you blame me in your heart?" he asked with a frown.

"I'm blaming you, but it has nothing to do with what you think," Pomona said.

He looked at her puzzled.

"There are some things that only women know and you won't understand." Pomona said pointedly.

Just like Isidora couldn't understand why Fitzgerald wouldn't let her remove his pain, who likes pain?

"Now answer my question, how do you define 'innocent'?" Pomona said.

He sighed and fell into thought.

Pomona waited patiently, like a chess player waiting for his opponent to think before making his next move.

After all, the place they were in was not a court. Both sides needed to react quickly like a duel. This was the benefit of peace and tranquility.
