This post has really got so many aspects to comment on!

For example,

the fact that the high profile cases achieve resolution so much faster than other cases (as the media has clearly shown us with regards to the Rattray case),

and

the philosophical debate about the runaway trolleys and if destiny should be toyed with.

However, I must admit that the largest amount of time I spent thinking about this post was dedicated to thinking about who exactly I would want to see on train tracks…
