ABSTRACT
Murphy also draws on this distinction when she is trying to persuade Joyce to testify. When Joyce says: ‘It was like a show. Big deal, we watched. I bet if you asked a thousand people, nine hundred and ninety-nine would watch. It’s no crime’, Murphy’s reply (‘They did more than watch and that’s a crime’) differentiates between the inadvertent look of the bystander (which will allow Joyce to become a witness) and the culpable look of the criminal.
