They are. Convenience is what matters most... you've seen how people react during trials, when the truth is right in front of them but they make a scene because they personally like the killer. The facts are the same regardless of personal feelings. That's another downside to getting emotionally involved... it makes it harder to look at the truth.
A while back, when Catra was alive...I remember when in the trial, she was...worried, I think, about me checking her whip. Because she didn't want to be judged if something was off.
[...]
People jump at the sound of a gun to find something that...makes them stop feeling emotional? It's confusing to me, but...emotions really just...get in the way of everything. It blinds people.
[ although malik's emotions don't behave like normal, but the idea is still the same. ]
I don't know much about Catra, but it sounds like she had her own emotions to deal with... Otherwise she'd let you check the whip. Manwol was trying to convince during the last trial to try and seem less suspicious, but I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't see why it was worth getting upset about either. I told her that if anyone was going to accuse me because I wasn't going along with their stupid little plans, then the problem lies with them, not me. It's the same-- jumping to conclusions or to blame someone because of their own feelings they have no control over.
She already harasses me at every trial, except for the one after I got this. [ points to the eye on his forehead, with the hand that also has an eye on it!! ]
I am going to stay far, far away from her. I'm not going to take any chances.

I think...people will go against what they don't like, and go for what they do like. People are weird. They're kind of...hypocritical that way?
