C
Of Extenuations — Reasons
Question I
Why a total want of intention unaccompanied
by heedlessness is made a ground of extenuation:
insomuch as to exempt the party Defendant from
all punishment except what may be included
in compensation?
Reasons
1 Because any greater degree of punishment would
be groundless inefficacious. You r A person by
accident has hurt you: but by the supposition
he did not intend to hurt you: by the supposition
he was not so much as conscious of his being
in danger of hurting you: he therefore was
not conscious that he was of his being in any
such case in which punishment attaches
upon a man: he has no punishment ins
before his eyes: whatever punishment therefore
really over hung him could not have any
effect upon his conduct: in other words it
could not but be inefficacious.
2. Being inefficacious, it would be of course
unprofitable; since it would occasion mischief
without preventing any.
