Very interesting discussion on crime and punishment. Here in the US, the police (and District Attorney) will often decline to pursue a case against an abusive husband if the main witness is the wife and she refuses to testify against him. There would simply be insufficient proof for a conviction unless there is a medical history and other eyewitness testimony supporting the claim.
Most departments today have a very low or zero tolerance on wife beating, something which was not true a few decades ago. My point is that the Metropolis DA would have a hard time proving that Clark kidnapped Lois if Lois doesn't testify that Clark kidnapped her.
Now to the story.
Love the determined, steely-eyed, throw caution to the winds Clark! I remember thinking when Luthor drove away with Lois that I'd never let the woman I loved leave so easily, especially if I was as capable of so many things as Clark is. This is a reasonable premise to resolve a truly unreasonable situation.
By the way, I thought Little Brother Johnson was one of the dumber screen villains in the L&C universe. And his mind-control invention was simply horrible, as was the "Heyba-heyba-hoba-heeba-haba" the newsroom staff did. I'd almost rather clean a public toilet with my best friend's toothbrush than watch that episode again.
Every other day? Love the posting schedule! And the story! Keep 'em coming!
