J-452: Retrospect — The Integrity of the Witness

Voyager S4E17 — Seven accuses an arms dealer of assault under memory regression therapy. The evidence is ambiguous: activated nanoprobes could be natural response to energy weapon, not assault. Kovin flees the justice system he doesn't trust and dies. Frameworks: The Integrity of the Witness (believing someone vs. proving something), The Hazards of Memory Regression (desire for truth obscuring the truth), The Invisible Cage of Good Intentions (the crew's desire to protect Seven swaying their judgment), The Burden of Bearing Wrongness (Janeway's refusal to delete the EMH's guilt subroutine — they must all live with it).
