Did she weigh as much as a duck?

(You knew someone had to ask.)

“Three hundred years ago people in England were putting witches to death. Was that what you call the 'Rule of Human Nature or Right Conduct?’ But surely the reason we do not execute witches is that we do not believe there are such things. If we did—if we really thought that there were people going about who had sold themselves to the devil and received supernatural powers from him in return and were using these powers to kill their neighbours or drive them mad or bring bad weather—surely we would all agree that if anyone deserved the death penalty, then these filthy quislings did? There is no difference of moral principle here: the difference is simply about matter of fact. It may be a great advance in knowledge not to believe in witches: there is no moral advance in not executing them when you do not think they are there. You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.”

So what do you suppose the brother in law was trying to cover up by having his sister in law beaten to death?

Cause you know there’s backstory here. Did she refuse to make him a sammich?

[I-ambush]

She was found at trial to weigh the same as a duck! It was a fair cop. Also, they couldn’t burn her because it’s dry season.

Yes, all cultures have equal value. /s

It wasn’t all that long ago we were burning “witches” in this country. We are only 200 years or so smarter than some other cultures.

Mr Eze, the prosecuting counsel, told PREMIUM TIMES that the murder charge was filed against Mr Chukwuilo because his report to the village council resulted in the beating of the woman to death by some villagers.

Wouldn't it make more sense to charge the council?
