Ended up basin' it entirely on who I thought would pose more of a danger from here out, honestly.
Didn't seem like there was any reliable way to reverse what was goin' on with Hawke. Firefly...
[ frowns. ]
Whether her story was a lie or not, it seems she was in her right mind either way, and she wouldn't have a motive to do it a second time now that she's gettin' her prize. ...Regardless of how anyone feels about that.
Well, I would worry for the safety of whoever did not receive the vote, regardless. But you are correct that she would likely not have the motive to do it again. Still... say that, next week, we are facing another trial. Only this time, we cannot determine who the culprit was.
Who will be the first person that people who are afraid of voting wrongly will think of? "Should I risk voting for someone who did nothing, or should I vote for someone who confessed to having taken a life last week?"
If we genuinely have no idea who it is... Don't know that it'd be the worst thing to vote for someone we know killed before.
[ like, honestly, what's the alternative in that situation? ]
Long as nobody uses that as an excuse to get complacent and not do their damnedest to investigate and get it right. Don't want anyone treatin' her like an easy way out.
I'd hope not too. [ ... ] Sort of doubt we'd have to worry about that with this lot, at least. Weren't a bad thing that almost everyone felt so conflicted about the choice today.

[letting people get away with murder because you have a backup vote is how you get serial killers.....]
