| Dec 27, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @Vorren - "why"? Because they had no particular incentive to bother. Thise duplicate questions I alluded to explain that. Why would they waste time finding THE truth when they don't really need to? | |

| Dec 27, 2015 at 14:45 | comment | added | phantom42 | I suggest re-writing your other examples as statements instead of questions. While you may not mean for them to be additional questions, it currently reads as such. | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 14:42 | comment | added | erip | @DVK The questions posed at the end are rhetorical. There are many cases where that sort of question should've been asked in the story: | |

| Dec 27, 2015 at 13:53 | comment | added | pdeschain | DVK, I'm asking only "why didn't Wizengamot's triggerhappies actually use all (or a combination) of the above-mentioned tools to extract the truth from the people they judged?". Other questions are for the purpose of illustrating my point. | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 13:52 | comment | added | pdeschain | What I am trying to say is - wizards have A LOT of powerful techniques to get creative in their investigations. They did not do that. Why, when the odds are sending a known ally and a fellow man to dementors for the crime he did not commit? | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 13:51 | comment | added | pdeschain | So, basically, you're saying there is no reliable way to know what really occurred but to believe the "he did that" logic. That is, to my mind, a mistake. For instance mass tampering with memories is at least time consuming - wizards could've checked muggle witnesses to Black's "crime" with proper magical means to ensure the truth. | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 13:41 | comment | added | Valorum | Because memories can be tampered with, with trivial ease. A skilled magician could therefore get away with murder over and over again in your world. | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 13:38 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | This is (1) too broad - too many questions; (2) some are already answered on this site, did you check? | |
