Hypothetically speaking

(anyone can answer, but I’m more interested in those with skepticism towards authorities)

  • I mean, let’s say the person said something like: “It wasn’t me, they [framed me / they got the wrong person / etc…]”

    I mean people do get wrongfully convicted… but who do you believe? The courts, or this person claiming innocence who might actually be telling the truth (but you can’t really verify it)? That’s the crux of this problem.

      I think what Nemo is saying is, if there’s 2 people applying for a job. Both ex convicts.

      Jim says “I didn’t do it. I was framed”

      And Bob says “Yeah I killed her. So what?”

      Nemo hires Bob.

        Probably not if it was “So what?” but maybe if it was “…and it was the worst mistake of my life.”

        I’m just looking for a little self-reflection.
