Why this dilemma matters
Justice questions ask whether the law, fairness, or mercy should lead the call. Choosing “You provide the alibi, protecting your sibling from criminal consequences while hoping the victim recovers” prioritises equal treatment for all; choosing “You refuse to lie and direct investigators to your sibling, prioritizing the victim's right to accountability over family loyalty” gives more weight to proportionate response to one case.
Worth asking yourself
- Would you apply the same standard to yourself?
- Does context excuse the act, or just explain it?
