Do you think you could get away with a murder?

Please no responses such as "I would never!" - just play with the idea for a bit.

Do you think that you could pull off a murder without ever being caught?

Think about it - you'll have to deal with eye witnesses, substantial evidence, police, media coverage, homicide detectives, and investigators.

Yes - I think I could get away with it. 119
No - I'd probably be caught within the first week. 83

    No, I'd probably panic way too much, heck I'd probably manage to look guilty to something I didn't even do, I'm not good at masking emotions

  • I probably could mostly cause I've read tons of books about crime, killers and such so I know what mistakes they made and how they slipped up.

    But I would never do it because I don't want to kill anyone and I don't think I could actually hurt someone like that D: :O

      I've got a piece of chocolate cake you could see off. I'm too full to eat it myself and I promise I won't let anyone know of your dark crime. And all the evidence would be eaten anyway.

      • Ooh, that's really tempting... I'll do it. But shhh... it wasn't me! And those aren't chocolate cake crumbs either! XD

          Ahh, but it's the next morning now and I'm hungry again. You're going to have to wrestle me for the cake! And, yes, this whole thing was a cunning plan to roll around a bit with the Sorel. :P

          • Very cunning! But I'll have to tell you something, in all competitions, I always end up on top :3 :P

            And yes, that's a blatant double entendre XD :P

    I could quite easily kill someone and possibly get away with it. I have yet to ever felt remorse or anything similar so I doubt I would care about ending a life.

      Hey, I'm a magician. Let me tell you three things about yourself.

      1. You're currently wearing heavy mascara.

      2. You hate your parents.

      3. Nobody understands you.

    I think I could get away with it. Feed the body to my pet rats and the wild ones in my garden, and it'll be gone in a few days. Dispose of the weapon? No need when you have nails similar to that of an anteater. Eye witnesses? None in the deep forest. Suspected? Nope cos it'll be a stranger! Heh...

    Personally, I think I could get away with murder, but the guilt would overcome me and I'd probably turn myself in.

    Seriously, most of you people think that you could get away with murder because you watch all the forensic shows and read all the books? Well thats all fine and dandy, but in the REAL WORLD it dont matter how many books or shows you have watched. There is a thing called a professional, and they are trained to find out things that people think is hidden. Not every cop is as stupid as YOU. :)

  • livefastdieold

    easily, so easily. you could plan out your alibi in like 5 minutes. you could plan your murder weapon in like 0 sec (obviously an ice pick), then you would pick someone who should be murdered in the first place. wear all black, wear gloves, stay away from cameras, and you are a.j. chillin.

    if I were to do such a thing, I probably would, bcuz i've watched so many forensic files, deadly women, 48 hrs,mystery, etc. whenever I watch those shows I ake a mental note how they messrd up and what I would have done, just out of curiosity's sake (like this poll). I would never in a milliob years do it. I can barely killa a bug or rodent.

    If only I had the perfect alibi...I guess that would only be partly sufficient. Yeah, I'd be caught within a week.

    Where would you hide the body?

    or as Voltaire said it....

    What if it doesn't rain for days and the river is reduced to its muddy bed?
    With a corpse exposed I would work in haste and I might bury the bones in a shallow grave.
    And the rain comes and moves rocks and the stones washes away all the dirt and the mudflows
    Bones are exposed and well you know how that goes!

    ... =)

    I think I would get away with it. Not that I would ever commit a murder, however.

    I just think that most murderers have been complete idiots and I wouldn't make the mistakes they did (based on stuff I've read from history books).

    I religiously watch shows like forensic files, 48 hour mystery, etc that I've seen all the mistakes people make and if I were going to do it I'd probably know what NOT to do.. but I don't think I would ever want to do such a thing.

  • Darkoil

    Yeah but the key to actually getting away with murder is to make people believe that a murder hasn't even been commited.

    • I would think that if you commit a murder, trying to make it seem like a murder hasn't been committed would cause a lot of people to be suspicious about you.

      Like if you read the newspaper reports and seem to be overtly insisting it's suicide, accident etc. people will instantly suspect you of something. As in one doth protest too much XD

      • DreamSpider

        Maybe Darkoil means doing so passively, not actively. Like by setting it up to make it look like the person committed suicide or ran away or something. Not by telling people "it's not a murder, it's not a murder!" (Obviously :P)

    If I grow up a little more I'll turn into an old fart.
    But seriously, there are plenty of people who get away with murder everyday. They get away with it simply because nobody would ever link them to the death.Which is mostly thought to be a "natural" death, or an "accidental death".
    To me it doesn't make much of a difference if the person gets stabbed with a knife or dies because nobody actually bothered to give him decent food or brakes.It's still murder in my book.You'd say:Which book?
    Of course:The hammurabi code.
    The best code ever.

  • Ldizzy1234

    I don't know. A part of me thinks that I could really have people fooled for a little while, because everyone I meet says I'm really soft spoken, and they all seem to think that I'm so innocent and sweet, and wouldn't hurt a fly. So if I were to snap, I think everyone would automatically cancel me out as being someone to suspect guilty of murder. But like smartasscookie said, with time, I'd probably be panicking, so people would soon catch on. And honestly, I don't know how the heck I would really hide the body if ever I did.

  • I've got away with almost doing it to alot of people in a building, someone liked to brag and say it was them so I made sure they got the blame for it.
