(115,771 posts)and the relevant statutes under which they are charged don't contain any of those words, even if what they did is consistent with popular (but not legal or statutory) notions of those things.

(90,737 posts)When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot.
