“play tricks with me and I’ll crush you” [ABBE]  <a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6C-F5uTEqmzvC-zrW8id9JEFOOPjDO5dJsOJtl_HwH4Vfohm1wTtjbnd3naCIPrYZMEUv8R5SXNu-1MpQenJlP1aaFKl_9x03NHLiC6fvThA_YAMeZw0fxK1OdN8jpmQ04zdoB_YY_FjJ5XijkbdyiCXvQ4nSe-sec0MVCM_rolCk9ll_qH7P0X9_Z08/s1000/447%20-%20Playing%20Tricks.jpg"> </a>   Was Sherlock Holmes too lenient with how he handled some of the criminals he defeated? There are a number whom he caught and set free, flouting the law in the process. Inspired by a recent article in The Baker Street Journal, we look at examples in a handful of stories and compare the fates of the accused in each. Did they get what they deserved? It's much more than just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.
