Kill your defence lawyer. The jurors would obviously acquit. Although the prosecution would probably argue that the jury was biased.
Don’t pull it, let the jurors die. It’ll justify my “not-guilty” defense. “I did not take any action for the previous trolley that killed people, and I did not take action on this trolley either. I touched nothing, yet people still died.” I don’t know what happens after that, maybe we get new jurors and I have the judge as a witness; or maybe the judge makes a decision.
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?
Looks like the atorney can just step aside from the tracks, as they are not tied.
Of course, they’d charge you $300 for having to make the effort.
I also wouldn’t want to continue this suffering, unless I get $300 bucks.
Yoooo new trolley problem just dropped. The answer, as always, is multi-track drifting.
Objection your honor, this is obviously entrapment.
The answer is to pull the lever in such a way that the tracks jam halfway between switching. This will cause the train to derail and kill both sets of people in the ensuing carnage.
You did your best to stop the trolley so it was not negligent homicide it was a failed attempt to stop a train with no casualties on either track.
Neither, pull a Chris Redfield and “boulder punch” the trolley with a quicktime event to smash it off of the tracks. Provided that you can run fast enough to catch up with it in time that is.
If that doesn’t work, go back in time with your time machine and train in running and do arm workouts until you’re fast and strong enough to run up to the trolley and punch it over in time. Or maybe change things so that you’re never caught in either trolley situation to begin with. I dunno.
