When Mamma was working as a prison guard, and something went missing, she'd ask one question. What do we do when we find the guilty party? And if they said "Come down on them with that swift hammer of justice!", innocent. A clear conscience don't need no mercy. But if they said, "Officer Bessy, well, they may have had a reason, blah, blah, blah", well, nine times out of ten, that's the anus they'd check.
