I guess it depends. If the number of shadows increased somehow... Of course it's still important to find out what happened to everyone, but there was that note about the shadows leaving after the verdict. I don't want us to feel like we have to split votes between people who were made to kill by a force they had no control over. [...] I wonder if the staff would be able to tell us whether everyone who killed did it because of a shadow.
They may not be able to tell us at first, but maybe later in the case? I know that they aren't able to tell us many things right away...

A good idea to hold onto regardless. That may be how we need to see it. I suppose I'd prefer it if they were all done by shadows in control, but that's terribly optimistic. Especially with the clauses in our contracts regarding killing for our hostages.
