"Ooops forgot murder!"
(or if you are more cynical, "lobbying regulation")
- einhverfr 13y agoWouldn't be a good idea to forget that one in medieval Iceland.... Now, keep in mind that manslaughter was relatively minor at the time, but secret murder was really, really bad. The difference was that manslaughter was where a killing was announced and taken credit/responsibility for. If you hid the fact, that was cause to have everything you own taken by the victim's family and have any legal protections you might have had in the past revoked, meaning anyone could kill you and nobody could give you shelter.
