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



It is said that patients with multiple personality have many different kinds of handwriting, one for each personality, as if it is unique to each person, although these words are all written by the same body.

However, there is still a way to tell them apart. The members of "Young England" use the same kind of paper, and the color of the ink is also very similar. Everyone has different habits, and everyone cannot buy paper and ink in the same place.

Among so many people, there are those who are manic and weak in intelligence, and there are also those who have superior intelligence and strong learning ability like John Freeman later. But nowadays, few people want to explore his story, unless they are like her and Old Bat.

In that way, the files that had been gathering dust for many years were dug out.

In the story of "Joker", Arthur came to the mental hospital to look for files on himself to confirm one thing: whether he was adopted.

When he took his mother to the ambulance, the ambulanceman asked him how long it had been since he had 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 may easily attract "judgmental" views.

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

Under Ray's influence, the New Hampshire Supreme Court in the United States established a new rule in 1869. If the murder was the product of the defendant's mental illness, then the jury should not decide whether to "not guilty by reason of mental disorder."

The "criterion of right and wrong", whether there is delusion, is not about deliberateness or cunning in planning and executing the murder, but only considers the disease and whether the behavior is the product of the disease.

There was also a Durham Rule in 1954. Mont Durham once joined the Navy, but was deemed 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. In 1954, he was convicted of burglary.

, he took a test before this and it was a psychotic state combined with a psychotic personality.

The state of Washington where he was arrested does not recognize the New Hampshire Rules, but still enforces the MacNaughton Rules. Durham can also use bad checks to defraud. And the area is still using the "uncontrollable impulse" used after 1886.

The rule, which is accepted in American courts as the Macnaughton Rule, is not accepted in English courts.

"Uncontrollable impulse" is a kind of pathological impulse, and both Hetfield and Osford fall into this category. However, the British judge found this ridiculous. For example, the defendant wanted to kill a cat and he could not resist his impulse.

, the judge said, what if you let a policeman stand beside you? The defendant said no, so there was the "police-proximity rule". In other words, if the policeman is close at hand, but still cannot control the impulse to commit a crime, this

It's "uncontrollable impulse".

The jury basically made a judgment based on common sense. "Uncontrollable impulse" was suspected of causing misfortune and gaining sympathy, but it still received more support than the New Hampshire rule.

Simply put, if the defendant can get a psychiatrist's appraisal to prove that he has this disease, he can be innocent. The Durham Rule and the New Hampshire Rule are both product rules. The difference is probably that the Durham Rule is a New Hampshire Rule.

Modern version.

Its advantage is that it is convenient and fast. As long as the defendant can get professional witnesses or psychiatric diagnoses, the jury does not have to spend a lot of time to identify what is going on in a mentally ill person's mind.

Before the Durham case, only 0.4% of cases in Washington were found not guilty due to mental disorder. By 1961, this surged to 14.4%. In addition, there was the Reagan assassination in 1981, when the murderer Hinckley was identified as mentally ill.

abnormal.

"Joker" committed multiple murders, which is why Arthur was finally imprisoned in a mental hospital instead of prison. He has a certificate of mental illness, and he did not suffer from it "suddenly", but has been ill for many years.

Then there was the time when he publicly killed the talk show host on TV. The police were not in the studio at that time, but if the police were there, would he still have done it?

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

He was not caught, so there was no way to interrogate him, but not every serial killer is mentally abnormal.

There are even serial killers who want to pretend to be mentally disordered to avoid responsibility, and psychiatrists testify for them in order to use them as research subjects. However, this is basically the plot of 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 has no hope of living longer or is insane.

Life does not lose its meaning due to the short remaining time. The pigs to be slaughtered will also enjoy "hospice care" and listen to music and take a bath. This is called "humane slaughter".

The key is that when they were discussing, they said "think about your family", and Parker was an orphan who no one missed. Why didn't anyone mention God at this time?

Pomona felt that six months in prison was too lenient, but locking them up longer would have little effect.

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

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

This is what Pomona thought when she first watched "The Godfather": a father who avenges his daughter, he is willing to do anything, even if it makes 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 is wrong for Percival to seek revenge for his daughter." Pomona said softly, "Even if the whole world does not 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 Dumbledore is?" Snape asked.

She remembered it, and then discussed the topic of sacrifice. Is it right to sacrifice one person for the happiness of most people?

"Being a 'saint' is also famous, even though he has to suffer a lot for it." Pomona whispered, "That is much better than being unknown."

He was silent.

"Do you want to be a 'sinner'?" Pomona asked, staring into his eyes. "Then go to Azkaban and be neighbors with dementors."

He curled his lips.

"Like Sirius Black."

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

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

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

He showed an unruly expression.

She considered whether to continue the debate.

In "Dangerous Liaisons", Mortal and Mrs. Medea care too much about winning and losing, and as a result both lose.

Her purpose is to make him stay, so winning or losing, right or wrong is not the most important thing at the moment.

"You are smart, Severus, and you follow the rules. This 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 coldly, "It's just that Dumbledore chose me."

"You are also a master of Occlumency." Pomona continued, "I thought you could control your emotions."

He looked at her dissatisfied.

Someone once said that a person's degree of dissatisfaction is inversely proportional to the distance from what he earnestly desires.

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

What did Snape want most passionately now?

Could it be because of Sirius's distinguished family background and handsome appearance?

She was racking her brains to think of words to compliment him, and after talking for a long time, she calmed him down and stopped being as angry as before.

Malfoy is the school director, and he has the right to enter and leave the school freely. She has coaxed him well this time, but what will happen next time he comes?

This is not something that she, a mere teacher, can solve. Soldiers will come to stop it, and water will come and earth will cover it up. We will talk about it when the time comes.
