If you are forced to fight to the death...? (SPOILERS)


SPOILERS FOR AN EPISODE OF SEASON 3

If one is forced to fight to the death, would it even be considered murder? Suppose the kid would rather have his porn history posted to the world, he'd still have to defend himself against a man that would rather murder.

reply

probably not, he could claim self defense like you said. but he would most likely be tried for the bank robbery. that he had a choice in.

reply

Not only would he be tried for the bank robbery with a deadly weapon, but for viewing child pornography.

reply

How would he prove that it was a fight to the death prompted by a third party, and not that the two of them were in some child pornography ring and afraid of being ratted out by the other, prompting the fight to the death duel.

reply

He has texts on his phone. The trolls showed no ability to make their texts disappear.

reply

They orchestrated and properly executed a sophisticated plan that included a number of people who up until this moment had successfully hidden their illicit activity from everyone else for however long, and you're convinced these trolls had no ability to wipe their tracks?

reply

Did I say I was 'convinced' of anything? No, I'm saying we saw no evidence that the trolls were able to make their incriminating texts disappear. Maybe they didn't want them to, maybe they didn't have the technology. It would have been a very simple shot to show the texts disappearing though.

Are you convinced they did make their texts disappear?

reply

We see the texts replaced by the Troll Face image. I don't think the texts are erased. That wouldn't really be possible on current platforms without some hackery. I think it could be done on an Android phone if you had a malicious app installed. I don't think it could be done on an iPhone. And Kenny never installed an app that we saw. He just gave them his number, and they contacted him via it.
