| | Guilt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Guilt can sometimes be remedied by punishment (a common legal action and advised or required in many legal codes), by forgiveness (as in transformative justice), or by sincere remorse (as with confession in Catholicism or restorative justice). | | | Simpson or Julius Rosenberg was "guilty" or "not guilty" is taken as an actual judgement by the whole society that they must act as if he were so. | | | Guilt and its causes, merits, and demerits is a common theme in psychology and psychiatry. |

| | The Shame of Being a Man |
| | It is for this reason that, where guilt is a matter of weight and measure, shame appears to have no recognisable scale or units of currency, and can appear so excessive and immeasurable. | | | Indeed, our legal system requires accused persons to make such attestations: do you plead guilty or not guilty? | | | Guilt is a sense of inner badness caused by a transgression of moral values; shame by contrast is a sense of failure or lack in the eyes of others. |

| | White Guilt - Stormfront White Nationalist Community |
| | I am convinced these type of cases are purposly being thrust upon society by the controled media to induce a permanant state of white guilt, and that is without even mentioning the biggest club they use to beat us with which is of course St Stephen of Eltham. | | | Do a Google search on Victoria Climbie or Damilola Taylor, the amount of money spent on public enquiries and memorial trusts etc must be staggering. | | | Any White man with healthy instincts feels disgust and revulsion when he sees a woman of his race with a man of another race. |

| | I Confess (Mathieu Deflem) - Page 6: Public Guilt |
| | During the chase, furthermore, more and more public guilt is inflicted upon the falsely accused. | | | The price one has to pay is typically some form of wrongdoing, an involvement in illegality that is not of one's own choosing, a secondary guilt. | | | The chase is seen by society as a confession of guilt, but for the protagonist its is the only possible means to search for truth, to attempt to rid one self of the guilt society has inflicted. |

| | "Admission" Defined & Explained |
| | The term admission is usually applied to civil transactions, and to matters of fact in criminal cases, where there is no criminal intent the term confession is generally considered as an admission of guilt. | | | As an instance of admission made with a view to evidence may be mentioned the case where a party has solemnly admitted a fact under his hand and seal, in which case he is, estopped, not only from disputing the deed itself, but every fact which it recites. | | | Express admissions are only matters of fact alleged in the pleadings; it never being necessary expressly to admit their legal sufficiency, which is always taken for granted, unless some objection be made to them. |

| | While both women pleaded "not guilty," however, neither woman testified on her own behalf. | | | The ravages of time on historical records and the geographical isolation of their communities have limited the usefulness of conventional archival research. | | | Silver's comments on slavery do not register moral outrage but do make clear that the ownership of slaves was a marker of class, prestige, and wealth in antebellum Appalachia. |

| | Dell Gines » Thoughts on White Guilt |
| | I sure don’t know of any type of sound law (moral, especially since we’re talking about “guilt”, or other type of law) or legal principle that says Known Stolen Goods can be kept under the ‘Tough Luck’ Doctrine. | | | The issue/theory of ‘white guilt’ is predicated on the idea that this country’s systems (political, economic, social, cultural) were, in large part, set up by and for the benefit of the white majority. | | | At once, they will claim, as Dell, noted “Whites have nothing to feel guilty about”, “Whites living today aren’t responsible for the racial wrongs of yesteryear” but then, when certain Whites hold positions that don’t align with their CON positions, they are quick to say their behavior is one that’s out of White Guilt. |

Id. | | | Morillo argues it should not for two reasons: first, he was not made aware that this admission would be treated as a guilty plea; and second, the court entered the CWOF despite the absence of a written stipulation of facts. | | | Once this admission is tendered, the court must inform the defendant that if the court does not accept the proposed disposition, the defendant has the right to withdraw the admission. |

| | The age of white guilt: and the disappearance of the black individual |
| | Guilt can be a very civilizing force, but only when it is simply carried as a kind of knowledge. | | | White guilt held out the promise of a preferential life in recompense for past injustice, and the protest identity seemed the best way to keep that promise alive. | | | White guilt is literally a vacuum of moral authority in matters of race, equality, and opportunity that comes from the association of mere white skin with America's historical racism. |

| | Nabataean Religion: Honor and Shame |
| | Guilt did not have the same power and influence as it did in the west. | | | Each of these church leaders continued to develop the relationship between Christianity, as it was known in the west, and the legal understanding of guilt, justice, and righteousness. | | | There are more examples of theologians who were also lawyers, such as Martin Luther, but this list will suffice to point out that legal thought and expression had much to do with the development of the theology of the Early Church and the Reformation. |

| | Technically it's not an admission of guilt, even though it amounts to, "We DID do it, but we won't do it again." That distinction is designed to keep the civil attorneys at bay. | | | Financial firms are more willing to do that when they don't leave themselves open to shareholder civil suits; an admission of guilt would make things pretty easy for plaintiffs' lawyers. | | | If you ever commit a crime and are facing justice, you'd be wise to ask for punishment similar to what mutual fund companies get. |
