Ian Evarts Comments 1 & 2

1. I disagree with Kathrine's comment #1 entirely.
"I think that since Mr. Hyde broke the law Mr. Utterson has the right to break the law as well."
If breaking the law was justified by "well, oh he did it too" and that person would would get away unscratched and unpunished, the world would be in utter chaos! The law is the law and it should stand no matter what, if someone breaks the law that should NOT give another person to break the law as well. This is in a way going back to Hammurabi code, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, in this case breaking the law.

2.I think Neel's post is a reasonable idea. To offer the possessions as bait. Mr. Hyde would know he would get caught eventually so the least he could do is claim the money etc. and give himself up.
This idea would be good because not only is Mr. Hyde getting caught as would have been, but he passed money etc. to his family giving them a better life in the long-run.
