That analogy would be more apt in "not mentioning in an indictment for a thief that in addition to thousands of precious pearls, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds, one of the objects stolen was a loaf of bread to feed their starving family."
- JackFr 6y agoA better analogy would be a thief broke into my home, and stole cash, jewelry, electronics and also a handgun that had been used in a crime. The prosecutors are absolutely right to prosecute the thief, but upon discovering that I had the handgun used in a crime they really should look into that too.
- vntok 6y agoYours is a good analogy indeed. Sure, the prosecutors can and should refer the case of the smoking gun to their colleagues from a crime unit. But the thief still goes to prison for stealing cash, jewellery and electronics.
