    We are entitled to justice but that doesn’t entail killing folks on a whim

    I appreciate the conversation. I doubt we disagree on the fundamentals. However, I have to push back against this characterization. There was nothing whimsical about her decision or this guy’s culpability.

    It’s also important not to conflate our ability to know something definitively (our epistemic confidence) with the truth.

    If what she claims about this guy is true, then she is morally justified. If it’s not true, then she isn’t. Our uncertainty about the matter is a separate issue and regrettably not the subject of this litigation.
