Something to ponder.

Well you didn't touch your uncle. His death was an accident. I suppose it would just be unfortunate for this to happen on the night you planned to kill him. If nobody knew you were there it would be passed off as an accidental death. Now if you call the ambulance to him you're going to have to answer questions as to why you were there. That may raise a bit os suspicion. I'm not sure what would happen if you told someone about your plan. What could you be charged with? Would you get charged with manslaughter for scaring him and causing his death(accidently)?

Now on the subject of RICH alcoholic uncle. How is he rich? Oh i know it's a hypothetical situation but my uncles an alcoholic and he used to live on the street(he lives with his various, yeh various, partners these days).

In his younger days, he was a very sucessful man. As he grew older, after striking his hypothetical oil, he became a drunk over his wife never loving him in return. He became abusive because, in his opinion, she drove him to drink. In reality, his wife was just a very reserved woman, who didn't deserve the blame of his alcoholism or his abuse.

Shelby you would be one hell of a crime mystery writer.

Ah ok, makes sense.

I think I would kind of feel guilty, and kind of not. I wouldn't feel guilty because of what he did to his wife. He didn't get a punishment so he technically got a taste of his own medicine. Plus the fact that he reacted was an accident. Yet I would feel guilty because whether he reacted or not I would have killed him.

I know right? Whooo great detail Shelby!

bathe in the dough, the guilt will just...wash away!

let me clarify. i don't have a rich uncle. I didn't try to kill anyone. simply a totally hypothetical question.

Good thing you said that. I would think some people might think that

(not me)

 

[Lil_Tink]

so now comes the question. are you guilty? could it possibly have been you he heard? did this man deserve to die? so are you still committing a crime, even if you don't go through with it, but just plan it out?

I don't know if it is your fault, but your intentions aren't innocent. No one deserves to die in my opinon, this man is a horrible person, but you have no right to kill him. Throw him in jail for all i care, forever, but he doesn't deserve to die. I think you are, after all, its the thought that counts, and you begun to go through with it.

 

[swimer3]

thinking you are gonna kill someone and actually killing someone is TOTALLY different.

 

[Starstruckdancer]

I probably wouln't feel guilty. I didn't kill him.
He didn't deserve to die, like a bunch of people said before me no one deserves to die. He could of just went to jail. But maybe if he did go to jail he would of had to pay like fines and stuff (I don't know leagal jargen, but you prob. know what I mean). And then that money wouldn't have been there for you and your family.
But you still commited a crime. Breaking and entering and maybe plotted murder. Theres probably a better name for that but I don't know what it is.

 

[Fluffaball]

I wouldn't be upset that he heard the noise and slipped and hit his head to his death. After all the crap he put his family through it almost is like he deserves it. Still in the back of my head for the rest of my life would still have been my plan.

 

[C.J. Sparrow]

Hmmmmm.

It wouldn't really be my fault because I decided to back down. It was sort of a freak accident. But if I did make the noise that caused his death... But he was a sick dude...

ARGH!! This really is something to ponder.

Of course I'd feel gulity! I feel guilty for everything. When the bridge collapsed in Minnesota I felt guilty, when my dog died I felt guilty, you get it. I dont know why but I always feel guilty. So of course I'd feel guilty.
