Like you could find like clear instances of bad faith. And when legal commentators find something particularly cold, you've done something egregious. When those fucking robots have any semblance of an emotion. You've got a situation where a man was framed and as a result sentenced to death. The majority opinion finds that the conduct was not pervasive enough to warrant liability.
