But the fact that you are on trial for murder implies that you did take action in the first trolley problem, doing nothing would be negligent manslaughter at best.
Well, it’s a trial though. My defense is “I didn’t do fucking shit!” If I don’t pull the lever, and other people watch me not pull the lever, are they not guilty of negligent manslaughter as well?
