Guilt

Historically, physical evidence has taken on increasing importance in criminal matters.

Depression occurring as part of bipolar disorder may be severe and accompanied by ideas of guilt and hopelessness, an inability to function at work because of poor concentration and psychomotor retardation or agitation, poor judgement and suicidal ideation.

Guilt cramps my heart guilt that I did not see what they would do, that I lost Ned to them by a stupid trick, that I could not—did not—lift a finger to save him. The pain is real, but I would bear twice as much—bear all the pain in the world—if it would save my boy. But nothing now will do that, if Richard of Gloucester wills it otherwise. 

Then I could allow myself to know that Izzy was right, and I d lost fifteen years to loves that weren t loves, to men with only half a heart to give me, to tears and sometimes guilt and always loneliness, because, without letting myself know it, I knew they wouldn t want more than half of me, and that half was all I had to give.

The conditions at Auschwitz were so horrible that it is utterly incredible to conclude that they were unknown to the defendants, the principal corporate directors, who were responsible for Farben s connection with the project.. . . The extreme cold, the inadequacy of the food, the rigorous nature of the work, the cruel treatment of the workers by their supervisors, combine to present a picture of horror which, I am convinced, has not been at all overdrawn by the prosecution and which is fully sustained by the evidence.. . . The defendants, members of the Vorstand, cannot, in my opinion, avoid sharing a large part of the guilt for these numberless crimes agamst humanity. 

Nor can I agree with factual conclusions of the Tribunal which, in my opinion, misread the record in the direction of an exculpation even of moral guilt. The record of I.G. Farbenindustrie, during the period under examination in this lengthy trial, has been shown to be an ugly record which went far beyond the activities of normal business.
