The folks were patently cuckoo. If you believe that someone offering to assassinate a fellow through Voodoo ought to be prosecuted then so should these people.

The folks were patently cuckoo. If you believe that someone offering to assassinate a fellow through Voodoo ought to be prosecuted then so should these people. If you believe a case against a Voodoo assassin should be thrown out, this case ought to be thrown out.
- mpyne 13y agoWell as a nuclear-qualified submarine officer I can assure you that whatever else you think about Voodoo, radiation actually does exist
- HarryHirsch 13y agoSure, but their system of delivey is entirely unfit for purpose, and even the police agrees.
- mpyne 13y agoPerhaps, but I'm not sure why we'd give someone "extra credit" just because they were too stupid to sharpen their knife before they plunged it into their victim.
- HarryHirsch 13y agoThe law does consider outcome, not just intent, doesn't it? A contract killer who offers to kill his victims by voodoo would get a lesser sentenct that someone who offers to use a gun, and this somehow makes sense.
