An entirely new person

I wouldn’t put it past some lawyer who charges enormously inflated fees to try this defense. Probably in America.

Goddamit.

Try to remain calm, think about your B/P. 🙂

I don't have a blood pressure.

It's a British thing.

As I tell all my clients, "If you intend to pursue a life of perry crime, it is best not to make yourself readily identifiable; a tattoo and a northern accent are practically a 20-year sentence, however I shall try to get you off with an electronic bracelet."

Although not entirely true, let's assume you are a completely new person every 7 years (where all your cells have been replaced and regenerated). Would one therefore be able to claim that anything bad we did 7 years ago was not done by us?

Asking for a friend.

It would be quite handy to divide ones' life into seven year periods, and decide which would be the seven years you wish to use to represent yourself. For example, 0 - 7, innocence, 7 - 14 fairly innocent, 14 - 21, forget it, and so on. I think I did okay 49 - 56, probably my best cells, yeah, I think I'll use those....

If depends on how well you hid the bodies. Or so I've been told.

I have given it some more thought, and no, you can't blame your old cells for old deeds.

If you are indeed a “completely new person” then you would no longer be the person who did the bad thing and therefore not culpable.
