...um...that's exactly the comic strip I was referring to when I said he "mythbusted Jeremy's face falling off". Meaning, he busted Avery's myth that his face fell off.No, we saw him once since.The last we saw of him was when he mythbusted Jeremy's face falling off
Like I said in the last thread, I think it's less that than having been ground down by years of elementary-age kids (of which Millie has had more than her fair share), she just doesn't give a damn anymore.I never did trust or like Ms. Sorkowitz. I was hoping my instincts were wrong, but it seems as if she's just as biased towards the popular kids as I thought she was.
The good news being, that argument works *only* on a school setting. Judges, for example, rarely see actual crimes - they make decisions regarding the validity of *evidence* - as do parents. Parent didn't see the child steal and eat the cookie, but the child's mouth is covered in cookie crumbs - odds are, the kid took the cookie
Huh? No, what I'm saying is, that all the evidence should be looked at, not what what's seen from a distance or at a first glace. And not just listening to the accused, but listening to *all* the witnesses, *before* deciding guilt. When the judge is told buy a criminal/guilty person, the judge goes, 'hey, wait I minute, I'm just collecting evidence, I haven't decided anything about guilt yet'.The good news being, that argument works *only* on a school setting.

And when the judge is told by a criminal that it was somebody else that did it the judge always listens because we know guilty people never lie. In fact listening to what the accused say is more reliable then eye witness testimoney.
Boy, it's a good thing I wasn't working on editing when I had that lapse in reading comprehension....um...that's exactly the comic strip I was referring to when I said he "mythbusted Jeremy's face falling off".

Of course, it's simply not possible to have a legal system in the school world, at least not one like a nation's legal system. Otherwise, Timulty would have graduated by the time the sentence was passed down.My point being, that in the real world, first appearences are often wrong, and it's better to spend at least a few questions trying to figure out what happened, instead of jumping to conclusions and doing whatever is 'easiest.' In fact, that's why we have a legal system in the first place - without it, we'd have no choice but to do what Ms. Sorkowitz does - that is, punish who we think should be punished for no other reason than that we *think* they should be, regardless of what the actual truth may be.

Other evidence: Jeremy's history as a known and violent bully. I believe Ms. Mudd sued for that before. Millie's history as a peaceful person. Ozy being another witness - just becuase he's her friend doesn't make him unreliable as a witness, especially given the fact that Jeremy has been bullying him for years and that fact is also on record at the school.Well lets look at the evidence. We have eye witness testimoney from the teacher that Millie hit Jeremy. Millie hasn't denied hitting him either. We have mud on Millie, but she also has a history of activly playing in mud, and we have her best friend in the world who is not a reliable witness because he is bias. Given that the teacher has little to no time to gather more evidence or testimoney I feel that there is little other conclusion she could draw from the situation.
