Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A standard ingredient of The Summation in any Cop Show, Police Procedural, Law Procedural or Mystery of the Week. After the detective has shown without doubt who the killer is, the killer will launch into a long, self-righteous (or remorseful) monologue explaining why exactly they did what they did. This both serves as confession and allows the writers to explain how this solution to the mystery makes sense, even if it's often a "He called my mother a bad name, he deserved to die!" kind of sense. It's often the only way to make the perp's feelings obey the Rule of Perception, since they must be hidden until the crime is solved. |
