We trust judges when they decide to send people to prison for decades, so I don't see why we shouldn't trust them if they decide that this will is probably a mistake.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoJudges rely on evidence when making decisions. Is there Any evidence that it is a mistake?
- bnegreve 2y agoI don't know. If the case is not discussed in court, we will never know. This is why we should not blindly follow a will out of respect of the dead person, because there may be evidence this is just a mistake.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoYes. The time and other circumstances as described by the article. That signature is only one piece of evidence, and it doesn't exist in a vacuum, it has a context.
- madebylaw 2y agoThere wasn’t a will. The guy wrote his GFs name in some form in 1989 and probably never thought about it again.
- tossandthrow 2y agoWe don't trust judges. We trust the process they follow. A judge is not a God, why we have a hierarchy to redo judgments (lift a decision to a higher court). Also, IMHO judging a person for something they did not do is amongst the worst things that can happen in a society. This is also why there is a principle of rather letting 10 guilty people go free rather than convicting a single innocent person. (i am speaking from a Scandinavian juris system)
