I would buy the argument that mass murderer Charles Manson is the
way a bunch of particles obey the Schrodinger Wave Equation, but
I'll be damned it I can see what that has to do with his guild or
innocence;
That's the point.
that bunch of particles killed a bunch or people or it did not. If
it did and if we then send a current of a few hundred amps through
that bunch of particles we can be certain it will never kill again;
it might even make it less likely that similar bunches o particles
kill in the future, although this is less certain.
Yes, and the statistics available seems to indicate the contrary,
which is normal, as if a state shows the example in killing, that can
only give a bad example, and make execution or murder into a more
acceptable things to do. But that is only a non relevant personal
opinion, out of topics.
The point is that no lawyer will invoke determinism to justify non-
guiltiness.
