// The verdict

A dead heat: both score 90/100 on the danger index. Two threats of almost identical calibre.

The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
