Sometimes when I'm sitting in class, I think of the most irreverent things. Like how Cecilia should just say it was her twin sister Briony who was responsible for the murder of Paul in the mock criminal hypothetical we've been given. Or that their mother, who is my Aunt Emily, should make Briony take the blame because she's a struggling painter who dropped out of school and Cecilia is on her way to Oxford on a PSC scholarship.
Or how, when the fact patterns given to us throw up witnesses who have passed on, that we should just conduct a seance or use an Ouija board.
I wonder if people think of these things in real life, when facts pattersn like these arise. I'm sure it crosses their minds.
Today we walked into the SC, and we saw four people, each armed with a cleaning implement, cleaning a cordoned off area, the size of which was disproportionate to the amount of labour expended. J wondered out loud about this disproportionality, to which I responded Maybe there was a fight and they're cleaning up blood!
Today I also learnt that the penalty for daylight robbery is less severe than the penalty for robbery committed at night; daylight is defined in the Penal Code as the hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and night is defined as the hours between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. You can check out Section 392 of the Penal Code at Singapore Statutes Online.
