I am watching a television show where a character has murdered in the heat of passion. The character is of course trying to get away with it by covering things up. Which got me thinking… I cannot imagine ever committing murder in the first place, however if I did, I know there is no way I could try to get away with it. It would be simply beyond me to try and live with that kind of information and lie however it might be necessary, even if I desperately wanted to. I know the limits of my abilities… I would absolutely throw myself on the mercy of the law and try to get the best deal possible.
So what about you? If you killed somebody (presumably in the heat of passion because presumably the dope does not have any calculatedly cold murderers among its members… we hope… And of course if we did it is doubtful they would participate in this poll…) can you imagine yourself trying to get away with it? Lying and covering up doing whatever was necessary to avoid being found out? Hiding the body? Or would you be like me, completely incapable of trying to sustain that kind of lie and just turn yourself in and hope for the best?
Poll to follow…
