(7,908 posts)suggests that Brown showed no 'consciousness of guilt' about this particular incident is a far cry from saying that Brown 'had no conscience'. Johnson made it sound like Brown's actions suggested Brown didn't think what happened in the store was a big deal. But that was Johnson's perceptions of the incident, not anyone else's.
For all any of us know, Brown ran a tab at the store or had made other payment arrangements with its management. (Johnson testified that Brown had lived at the complex far longer than Johnson himself had.)
Frankly, I think you owe me an apology for suggesting that I think Brown had no conscience when, in describing Johnson's testimony, I made no such representation of my own views whatsoever. Your comment is therefore very dirty pool.
