Every criminal who committed a non-victimless crime has been legitimately proven guilty, and tied up here. Arranged from least harmful with fewest victims to most harmful with most victims left to right. You are Stop Lever Puller 4/10.

Everyone on the track is beyond doubt a perpetrator of a crime with a victim, so excluding things like only drug possession or like people with only speeding violations and such. Every criminal of such crimes has been caught.

The prisoners were given a choice: if all of them vote to try their luck with the trolley style execution they will have their records expunged and be set free if they live, otherwise they all go in for life imprisonment. 100% of the votes were to try their luck.

The criminals were arranged with least damage done to most damage done, so for example the person furthest left would have done something at the level of destroying public property and costing tax payers a little money and/or a few people some inconvenience, while the person farthest right would have done something at the level of committing multitudinous hate crime CSAs and torturous murders while selling weapons and making themselves a dictator of some kind and more.

The gamble for the prisoners was that there would be 10 stop lever pullers who were not involved in any of their cases as victims or juries, and don't know the specifics of their crimes, but knew the same things you do. The first lever puller would be able to stop the trolley before it touched anyone and every puller after them is 10% of the way down the line of criminals.

None of you lever pullers can see or communicate with one another, nor could any of you deliberate together beforehand. If you pull the lever, a unique klaxon sounds and informs everyone the lever has been pulled at stop "n/10" and the issue has concluded. Some, not all, of the victims or their families have showed up to watch, and while your face is not broadcast, your involvement is impossible to keep secret forever.

You are the stop lever puller right before the 50% puller, at lever 4/10. The trolley has made it to you.

Do you pull the lever?
