They discussed drugging in professional baseball for six weeks, this tendency to vote first, look at what they signed later sounds like an even more twisted kind of Wonderland than Lewis Carroll dreamed up.
“No no!” Said the Queen. “Sentence first- verdict later!”

Meanwhile, back to logic for a moment. If I should say “all the people in my brownie troop are girls” that does not mean that all the people NOT in my brownie troop are not girls. You cannot assume the composition of the sets outside of the one being described based on the recorded statment as it was said. Had it been phrased “Only people in my brownie troop are girls” you can then assume that no one outside the troop is a girl. Since I did not say that though, the statment only identified the members within the described set group, not the ones not within it.
