   I've always thought that expecting a criminal to foresee all of the   
   consequences of his actions was expecting too much.  It makes us the   
   equivalent of the mother of a recently divorced man telling him, "See,   
   I told you this would happen when you first started dating her."  It's   
   just not constructive.
