you
would
probably
get
voluntary
manslaughter
and
might
get
probation,
but
if
you
insist
on
your
innocence,
you
will
be
charged
with
first-degree
murder
and
face
the
death
penalty.
What
would
you
do?
(Obviously,
this
situation
shifts
our
focus
from

professional’s

If
you
decided
earlier
that
the
police
tactic
of
lying
about
forensic
evidence
is
ethical,
this
hypothetical
illustrates
what
might
happen
when
innocent
suspects
are
lied
to—assuming
you
are
innocent!)
