A bomb exploded at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, killing one and wounding more than 100. The FBI conducted an investigation and within days, Richard Jewell was identified as a suspect. After several months, the Justice Department announced that Jewell was no longer a suspect. Jewell was publicly scorned, and followed incessantly by the media and law enforcement for the three months that he was believed to be the bomber. Evidence in the case was interpreted in such a way as to support the idea that Jewell was guilty. For example, Jewell was known to have seen the bag containing the bomb before it detonated, and moved people from the area. This life-saving act was seen as evidence that he was the bomber, because the investigators believed that he had planted the bomb in order
to be able to be seen as a hero for saving people. According to the author, the tendency to ignore contrary evidence or overstate existing evidence when investigators believe they have identified the guilty party is a practice of:? A. religious ethicists. B. the ethics of care. C. ethical formalists. D. utilitarians.
