Since Thompson knew the police would question her, should she quickly tear out and destroy the pages in her notebook where the events were recorded? When asked by the police, should she, like the other villagers, plead ignorance concerning the killing? As you think through your answer, what are some of the issues and problems that this case raises and why? What courses of action should Thompson follow, and what would be the negative and positive consequences. Lastly, how would "you" have acted in the same situation? Your response should not exceed two paragraphs.
