| Jan 31, 2019 at 13:42 | comment | added | Peter Woolley | @hszmv Ah, yes. Needs to be somewhat arbitrary. Maybe the guy just snorts through his nose, or spits or some other bad, yet unrelated habit ? | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 19:41 | comment | added | hszmv | @PeterWoolley: Lack of remorse is a perfectly valid reason for the judge to deneign parole. Dismissive attitudes are valid justification for denial... It's not uncommon for the wrongly convicted to be incarcerated far longer because of this, as they still maintain their innocence because the alternative is tantamount to admitting guilt to a crime they did not commit. | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 12:41 | comment | added | Peter Woolley | Perhaps, in that case, the issue could be with his attitude to the crime for which he is to stand trial. Contempt for the victim(s), or an attitude which shows that he doesn't consider the offence a big deal. | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 11:27 | comment | added | Poul | Thanks @Peter! Yes, racism had occurred to me, and would probably be a fairly good candidate, but I was hoping for something more subtle, and also I was hoping it would be something that the reader would also dislike the character for! (I'll amend the question now to reflect that.) | |
