During our 2nd tutorial class..Sir Sonny had mentioned about a few methods of determining a guilty person that had been used in the past,they may be sound ridiculous,but Sir Sonny said they are really being implemented in the past..and as i remember,the methods that Sir Sonny had mentioned is as follow :-

(1) The guilty person's hand will be tight and his/her body with be covered with a big 'karung' and the 'karung' will also be tight,then the guilty person will be throw into the water,if the guilty person sink,then that person is to be said not guilty because the water accept him/her,however,if the person do not sink,then that person is said to be guilty because the water do not accept him/her.

(2) A few accused person will be bring together,then they will be ask to put their hand in the hot oil or hot water,if a person is guilty,his/her hand will feels hot,and if a person is not guilty,his/her hand would not feels hot.

(3) A few accused persons will be bring into a room and a witch will be called into the room,after reading a mantra,the witch will determine which person is guilty.

In my opinion,all of these methods are not suitable in determining a guilty person,besides,it is also unfair..and luckily,now,all these methods had been abolished..
