<p class="MsoNormal"><<b> </b>Jones is accused of a terrible crime which requires forming and acting on an intention. The police bungle the arrest and jones is shot dead. Jones\u2019s wife sues the police, claiming the underlying crime could not have been performed
by Jones because he was incapable of forming an intention. Since Jones is dead, the simple test procedure cannot be performed. So Jones\u2019s wife demands an autopsy, where it is found that indeed, Jones had developed a cancerous lesion in
<i>l. teleonomicus. </i>Judgment is made in favor if the wife. ><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Still haven\u2019t addressed the dualism in your <i>l.teleonomicus
</i>argument. You\u2019ve just compartmentalized it as a magic black box.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The wife may have case because the cops bungled the arrest. They don\u2019t determine guilt or innocence.<o:p></o:p></p>
