Criminologist: A judicial system that tries and punishes criminals without delay is an effective deterrent to violent crime. Long, drawn-out trials and successful legal maneuvering may add to criminals’ feelings of invulnerability. But if potential violent criminals know that being caught means prompt punishment, they will hesitate to break the law.
Which one of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the criminologist’s argument?
(A) It is in the nature of violent crime that it is not premeditated.
(B) About one-fourth of all suspects first arrested for a crime are actually innocent.
(C) Many violent crimes are committed by first-time offenders.
(D) Everyone accused of a crime has the right to a trial.
(E) Countries that promptly punish suspected lawbreakers have lower crime rates than countries that allow long trials.

Conclusion: Criminologist argues that if the trial is speedy, then the criminals will think twice before committing a crime.
Reasoning: Potential violent criminals will hesitate to break the law because of speedy trials.
Pre-thinking: If there is a circumstance that doesn't allow the criminals to think, then the argument will fall apart. For instance, petty crimes such as mugging can happen without planning for days/months.
Below are my reasons to eliminate the wrong answer choices:
A. It says violent crimes are not premeditated - Comes close to our pre-thinking. Keep A
B. 1/4th of all suspects first arrested for a crime are actually innocent - doesn't talk about violent crimes. Even if this is true, what is the percent of violent crimes out of all crimes? This is neither a weakener nor a strengthener.
C. Many violent crimes are committed by first time offenders - Okay. So? Again, this doesn't affect the argument.
D. Everyone accused of a crime has the right to a trial. Same as C. Doesn't affect the argument
E. Countries that promptly punish suspected lawbreakers have lower crime rates than countries that allow long trials. - This actually strengthens the argument.
Hope this helps.
