Harry was not soul gazed by a majority of wizards during his trial because that would have brought a level of knowledge and understanding on both sides that was clearly not there in Summer Knight.

A soul gaze stays with you so you don’t want to look at warlocks more than necessary, it can give you some ugly memories that never disappear.

Yes to the second part, but the reason Harry wasn't soul gazed by the whole Council at his trial is the same reason Molly wasn't...  Protocol, the arresting warden does the soul gazing of the perp and testifies as to what he/she observed in that soul gaze.  Which, when you think about it opens another can of worms, interpretation is based on the mind and experience of the one doing the soul gazing.   

DUDE, hold up, cause I have a woj from FB about not knowing the consequences of your choices is a fact of life. Note that the fae enchant food all the time too...

But wizards are not the Fae, are they?  And DUDE, this smacks of blaming the victim.. I  don't think this is what Jim meant or would apply to someone unknowingly being drugged and raped..

    Jim Butcher  Yeah, but all your choices count, man. Not just the ones where someone says, "Are you absolutely sure about your answer."

    Making a choice is stating who you are. Unequivocally. You can talk as much as you want about whatever goodness you want--your actions are what matter. Those choices, in some cases to /take lives/, weren't subconscious.

    Molly said, "I'm in line with Winter." A BUNCH of times. And making statements like that add up--not because you're initialing a point on a contract for a lawyer, but because you are /changing yourself/ by making choices like that.

    Creating life, ending life. Those are the heaviest hitting choices, the ones that truly matter, the ones that are irrevocable.

    Choosing not to be self-aware enough to own what you're doing is a choice as well. One Molly didn't make. She knew about bargains. She knew the score. She didn't know how deep was the water she was getting into, but she ran and jumped off the cliff.

While true, Molly made choices, she had some idea of what they were, but she chose not to think that there would be consequences down the road for accepting Lea's "training.."  Not the same at all as accepting a drink because you are thirsty or to be sociable without the anticipation that it might be drugged and you could end up having sex against your will.. Especially if you have no clue that the person you are with is capable of drugging that drink..  It isn't the same as drinking to the point of drunkenness, that is a choice..  But even the consequences of that are not totally the victim's fault in the eyes of the law..   

But let's go back to Molly's original choice, to go into the minds of her friends to "help" them stop their addiction...  Her friends did chose to take drugs to the point of doing physical harm to themselves.. However that did not acquit Molly from her choice to break the Law by entering their minds without their permission to alter them.  Her friend have to be responsible for their original choices, but so does Molly..

Yes, while it is a choice to accept a drink or to drink from a glass or cup handed to you, your responsibility... That doesn't get the one who drugged the drink in the first place to have sex against the other person's will off the hook in terms of responsibility.

Doesn't the law against transformation also specifically mention that you can't transform someone against their will?  So obviously consent makes a difference in more situations than just mental magic.

  Well, if a person unknowingly drinks a love potion, that is transforming someone against their will.  One may consent or accept a drink, but would one consent if one knew there was something in it to make them do what he or she didn't want to do?

Lara is definitively eating from her father right now, it is the best way to make sure of his weakness.

She was able to do it once she found out about his physical weakness as a result of not getting nourishment from his demon due to Margaret's death.  Before she found out though she didn't even try.

As for the deaths at Biancas, I imagine that it's chalked up to them not knowing who, if anyone, actually was killed by the fire vs already dead.  Though given the grudge some folks held against him, you'd think they'd try a bit harder to look into it.

   Harry did feel guilt that he actions might have killed some of those at the party.. However it was Michael I believe that said, 1] as you say  no way of knowing who may have died from Harry's fire rant since most were dead or about to die in any case.. 2] It was never Harry intent to kill the young people at the party, if any died by fire it was indirect consequences not as actual targets of Harry's spell.  Which brings up the question, yes, killing with magic breaks the First Law... But one does that go for those who happen to die because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and not the target of the actual spell?

How old are you? As a young boy I could have wild monkey sex any time I wanted but only with myself. If you get older and your body deserts you in small ways and pressure builds up with job and family and you get tired sooner and not enough sleep anyway.

There is a huge market in viagra. If your partner tells you not now it can just mean that she is too stressed, too tired or emotionally empty after a long day at work. You would both like wild monkey sex but it is just not possible.

Now Harry makes that nice potion.

Really, Ill doers are ill deemers.

Viagra isn't a drug slipped on you unawares usually..  Let's not forget that Harry gave the love potion to Susan by accident under pressure of the attack..    If the portion is used like Viagra merely to enhance or to make sex possible voluntarily, that is one thing... But if it is slipped to someone to have sex when that person doesn't want it by breaking down their will, that is rape.   

    As I said, find it hard to get excited about Mirror Mirror, that is at least one book off, plus x amount of short stories...  I am much more interested in the next book, in particular what Rashid said to Harry on the dock on Demonreach in Turn Coat.. Mainly that his hour to confront the Senior Council was not over Morgan..  He implied that in some time in the future he would confront the Senior Council, but didn't elaborate....  My question is will this happen in Peace Talks?  But if you insist,it could happen in Mirror Mirror... Our universe Harry goes before the other universe Senior Council and tells them they have to kill his evil twin... All the while they are trying to kill him because he violated the Laws by showing up in the first place.

I think the transition between books 16 and 17 will be similar to the transition between books 12 and 13.

Perhaps but that is years away...
