Not the Same Person
6 March 2024
To briefly respond to the previous writer. Of course, Dax was literally not the same person. A classic law school puzzler is one where a person convicted of a capital crime and set for execution, receives some sort of treatment which erases all the events of his or her life. In other words, they are set for punishment for something they have no memory of committing. What do we do. Interesting. Here, Chris's attorney argues that since he took off for Alaska, leaving hs parole officer behind, he has become a completely different. He does remember and is willing to pay the consequences. That's the beauty part. So our judge has quite the dilemma finding a way to enforce the law and yet accept his situation. I have a feeling that in the real world, he would be doing three years, but it's quite the situation.
