Especially this particular film, since in this film the characters (including the "victim") conspired to make a man look guilty of the murder and to hide evidence of his innocence from investigators until after he had been executed. All in the name of proving that innocent people could be unjustly put to death.

There are a few people out there who I would glady throw the switch on personally. And sleep soundly that night. I don't give a damn if it deters other people from commiting crimes, although I think it is safe to say that it deters more than it encourages. Some people are not worth the expense of having around.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
