Role of Output and Intent in Justice

Views on justice must be tied to the facts of a case rather than extraneous factors. The podcast episode discusses the importance of intent in justice. For instance, in the case of a violent assault, focusing on intent to commit the act is key. Real justice hinges on whether an individual is guilty of the action, not on meta-narratives or broader social considerations.
