Crime and punishment (addendum)

When I wrote the preceding article I sampled a dozen of the executed felons and in every case they made final statements consistent with my thesis.

However, my lovely wife just sat down to read the article and have a look at the database of last statements. As she did so it became apparent that a large number of the felons she sampled were not apologetic, thus totaly contradicting my contention.

Apologies ....

But we shouldn't let a little bit of sampling error get in the way of a good story.
