    First of all I would like to clarify that I do not intend to nor do I claim the boy is innocent. I’d like to bring to the table that the boy screamed “I’m going to kill you.” How many of us yell something like that to our parents?

    Conditional on preferring the outcome from lying over the outcome from truth-telling‚ a person is sensitive to neither her own [monetary] gain from lying‚ nor how much [monetary] harm she causes the other side.
