Another murder comes and goes and we read or watch in amazement. Who done it? Let the game of Clue begin. Innocent? Not guilty? Let's debate if those are the same thing.
Can we arrest a man for his thoughts? Did we get the Salem witch trials right?
How did cavemen dispense justice? How did they decide "who done it"?
Do animals or birds murder, then try to hide the fact?
With our never-ending search for the who, what, when, where, and why of life, unless we hand it all over to a God---the TRUTH is that we may just never know. The coming generations may one day know, but not us.
To me, some of the cases seem pretty easy to figure. I think if an accused person starts lying, well, if nothing else they are liars or mentally challenged. If friends of theirs go along with the lies, then they are just liars, and liars have something to hide.
Casey Anthony was such a blatant liar that her case was open and closed, right? Not so fast, she got off free from harming her little girl in any way. Who done it?
Amanda Knox said she did it, but later had reasons why that was a lie which should be ignored. She did or didn't lie? Oh right, that was in Galileo country and they just must not know how to find the truth. Who done it?
No one knew much about DNA back in the OJ Simpson days, so if an old glove didn't fit that big hand of an athlete, then we must acquit. Who done it?
Galileo never lied. But he did say things the rulers of the day did not want to hear. He done it. Guity as charged.
Giles Corey never lied. He refused to say anything at his Salem trial, so the powers that be chose to pile stones on him until they "pushed the truth out of him." Corey never said a word. He was crushed to death. Guilty as charged.
Yes, human justice is strange indeed. Too often more ice than just. Our prisons hold innocent people and our streets house the guilty. Perhaps we have a brain that has an area for making a wrong right within ourselves. That area sits in line with empathy, passes by the fear zone, ends with many synapses firing off and bouncing into each other, searching for the perfect fit.
It may be that there is no perfect fit, since that would require our own brain connecting with a suspect's brain, ah, the stuff of science fiction. The fear in our brain is that if we do not capture and stop these wrong-doers, than they will keep doing the bad deed. We certainly have plenty of proof of that. Yet, even that has a flip side---what other child did JonBenet's killer kill?
If O.J. did it, he didn't did it again. Michael Jackson's "doctor" is headed down the road to be busted for at the very least, assisting in Jackson's death, but if he is freed...anyone think he won't help others sleep by any means necessary for the right amount of money?
Our human justice, however screwed up it is, makes us feel we are safer for it. Do you feel safer?
