You are being a petulant, obnoxious child. You know full well the insight offered by the veil of ignorance does not presuppose a belief in mind-body dualism, stop pretending you do.

>And yes, if I were under suspicion for a serious crime -- whether rightly or wrongly -- then I would obviously want to get off for it, even though I would strongly prefer a much harsher justice system.

Well that's where we differ, as if I committed a serious crime then I would want to be punished appropriately. I believe this is called "having a conscience", although apparently you consider such a thing a severe intellectual disability.
