law school

my fav cheesy phrase used in law school texts is "knew or should have known"

this is used when they need to prove you are guilty/liable

Ex: "When he pulled the trigger he knew or should have known that someone would be injured"

 

for me the hilarity is that its worded "knew or should have known" so that the guilty person can't say "I didnt know"

 

this is what the law is about: safeguarding against liars
