THE IDEA
| |
A prominent science-journalist was found unconscious on the pavement of a side-street not far from a restaurant at which he had earlier been dining alone. He suffered injuries to his face and a fatal blow to the back of his head determined by the Coroner to have resulted from falling and striking his head on the pavement.
While at the restaurant, frequented by journalists, the deceased had been confronted by a disgruntled X who had attended the restaurant on the opportune chance of meeting the deceased to discuss the latter's refusal to publish an article, written by X, critical of a recent finding allegedly establishing the existence of gravity waves.
The discussion soon turned antagonistic and X unleashed, described by eye-witness accounts, a frenzied tirade of abuse. X was ushered to the exit by staff and several patrons and, evidenced by CCTV footage captured by a camera located out-of-range of the restaurant, left the precinct only to return at a time commensurate with the deceased's departure.
The footage also captured X's final-departure from the precinct.
Due to his refusal to co-operate with police officers investigating the case, eye-witness accounts, an examination of correspondence, and other circumstantial evidence, including an objectionable peer-assessment as a crank theorist, the court ordered a preliminary assessment of X's capacity.
Y, a thirty-year old, criminal-psychologist, brash and ambitious, considers his appointment to perform the assessment of X, a sixty-year old unemployed charity-volunteer, as an imposition. At first disgruntled, Y attempts to assert his authority, finds himself challenged, then intrigued.
Y, though only a neurobiological science graduate, is intelligent and sufficiently informed to understand the thrust of X's unfolding presentation of the pertinent theoretical-concepts. Y is, however, increasingly convinced that X is withholding something: information or intent.
