| Is a person being guilty or not.. dependant on their motive or their crime? Let's say two men commited a crime. They killed a woman. Man A killed one woman, and Man B killed a different one. These are separate trials, but because of some unseen force, they can only hold one in prison. Man A gets his side of the story. He claims he only did this to gain money from the county's Al Pachino. He claims that his child is deathly ill in the hospital, and his wife died long ago because she failed to do the thing Al Pachino told her to do. If the man didn't do it, the man would've died, as well as the child. Man B gets his side of the story. He claims that he never meant to kill her, but had the gun out to threaten her off of his property. She did not move, and so he acted as if her were going to shoot her and gripped the trigger harder, and accidently shot her. They cannot send Al Pachino to prison. Who do they send to prison? The man who does it for not himself, but rather his son, or the man who did not mean to kill the woman, but scare her off? • • • • • • • • • • So yeah, you guys get the picture. What makes a man a bad man? His actions, or his motives? If at gunpoint, man was told to kill a woman, is he wrong for killing her, if it meant the man could live? Is that any different than a man just shooting a woman, out of the blue? |
