Re: Question

[(Anonymous)]

That... Depends on the person. There is not a single piece of evidence short of a confession that would convince me my sibs did something terrible. Anyone else, though? Even with cousins or close friends a lot would be too circumstantial for sweeping generalizations.

In the case of Harry, though? As a Hermione or Ron, I'd believe him. I'd fight for hearing, search out lawyers, and generally believe in him, even if I actually didn't.

There was a show on TV about ten years ago that I caught part of an episode after soccer of. I don't remember much besides the premise, but it had a powerful impact on me. The lawyer was fighting for her client, going through hoops and filing every sort of appeal because he kept insisting he was innocent of the B&Es and rapes he'd been convicted of. Eventual retesting of DNA led them to a different man in one case, who was serving time for something else. He's in for life regardless, but the lawyer manages to promise him something that makes him confess to both rapes, but with a catch. He can't just say he did it, he has to *convince* them. He does, mentioning the fact that he'd cut the first woman on the chest. This hadn't come up in court because she had been to traumatized to mention it, but was revealed as part of the plot earlier in the episode with the woman pulling open her shirt and asserting that she'd never forget or mistake the man who did it to her when talking about the convicted man's newest appeal.

Anyway, the convicted guy is acquitted. The scene that stuck with me, hough, was when he thanks his lawyer.

Guy: "I could never have done it without you. So many times I just wanted to give up, but you kept me going. You always had a plan and never gave up on me. You believed in me even when I doubted myself."

Lawyer: "That's the thing, though. I didn't believe you." (Cries as she leaves the room)

I'd like to think I'd be like that, never giving up even if I didn't believe. I don't know, obviously, but... I like to think that.

Back to your point, though, it would be reasonable for any non-trio character, but I'd ink his two best friends should know better. I don't think grovelling would work to fix it, though. Not on something that big.

Any other characters, though? Yeah, probably. It would make sense for them to trust the evidence over Harry.
