Il tuo amico più caro ti confessa in lacrime di aver commesso un grave crimine anni fa, convinto che tu non lo riveleresti mai a nessuno. Ora una persona innocente è sotto processo per quello stesso crimine e rischia una condanna pesante. Cosa fai?

Why this dilemma matters
Justice questions ask whether the law, fairness, or mercy should lead the call. Choosing “Denunci il tuo amico alle autorità, proteggendo l'innocente ma tradendo una confessione fatta in piena fiducia” prioritises equal treatment for all; choosing “Convinci il tuo amico a costituirsi, rispettando il vincolo di fiducia ma accettando il rischio che rifiuti e l'innocente venga condannato” gives more weight to proportionate response to one case.
Worth asking yourself
- Does context excuse the act, or just explain it?
- Who is the rule protecting, and who is paying for it?

- DNA evidence exonerates an innocent person after 25 years on death row. The real killer is 85, frail, and dying. Do they go to prison?
