"He is known to us all; educated as a gentleman; bred to a respectable business; and removed from suspicion from the rank he held amongst his fellow citizens. He was far above the reach of want and consequently of temptation; he had a lawful employment which might have enabled him to hold his station in society with respectability and credit; he has been more than once officially at the head of his profession, and was a member of the City Council. If therefore he, too, is guilty, his situation, in place of alleviating his guilt, is a high aggravation of it." -- Ilay Campbell, Lord Advocate, at Brodie's trial, 1788 For the story of Brodie, see Image
