re: #414 EPR-radar
You’re kind of dodging the question here, IMO. This kind of fact pattern does not lend itself to proving a specific prosecution theory beyond a reasonable doubt. If that is taken to end the discussion, so that all defendants with this kind of fact pattern cannot be found guilty, then we have a de facto open season for vigilantes to take out those they see as undesirable.
I do not believe that is an acceptable outcome.
All the more reason to revise the laws or to strike them. Not say that, despite a defendant not breaking the law, he should be convicted anyway because we simply don’t like the actions he took.
