  • actually, it’s just an ancient precedent; the vast majority of the constitution is uncodified and as an 11th-century principle the peremptory plea is an incredibly uncodified part of the uncodified conclusion. there were some supreme court rulings that refined it a little so they would have to write it in the opinions but i wouldn’t call that “explicit” either, as a ton of court rulings happen.

    and that’s just before the Criminal Justice Act 2003. since then, double jeopardy has been legal for serious crimes like murder, manslaughterkidnappingrapearmed robbery, and serious drug crimes[50] if “fresh and viable” new evidence later came to light[39], except for scotland

    that said i don’t think “fresh and viable” would apply here, nor is there anything to suggest the judges wanted to try him when he was older. that would be quite the bigger perversion of justice that defeats the purpose (and IIRC letter) of giving the young weaker punishments entirely: it’s how capable of understanding responsibility you were at the time of the crime!


  • that actually goes for every digit. when you add eight to a number n=10a+b=\overline{ab} (so a is in the tens digit and b is the ones digit), you can think of this as:

    1. add all of the eight to b
    2. if b is greater than 10 as a result, subtract 10 from b and add 1 to a

    what is 8-10? -2. so if you’re shifting the tens digit (a) up by 1, the ones digit is shifting down by 2; if you’re looking at the sum of digits, +1-2=-1.

    you can do similar things for every other digit added to a number. 8 is -2, 9 is -1, 7 is -3…
