There's a screenshot that goes around purporting that in a psych experiment they studied brain responses to video of other people playing cards or some other game, and the players are wired up and recieve mild shocks when rules were broken or sometimes just on the accusation. The vid feed showed both players in such a way as you can tell if tgey really did cheat or not.
Supposedly the empathy/sympathy brain centres lit up in both male and female observers when the shock was unearned, but when cheating did happen the results split down the sex lines. Women still felt bad for the shocked cheater. Men felt pleasure at seeing just punishment.
I think this might work similarly.
I don't feel the slightest bit bad for him. He made his bed.
I want to see those who helped him lie and cheat his way into that position punished too.
