murderous intent

Sometimes the more negative aspects of society can bring about inspiration for creativity. An example of this is merderous intent sparking creativity. I was watching an episode of the television show Monk in which a murderer plans his alibi in a very creative way. The murderer  is a school teacher, who asks a fellow teacher which he is having an affair with to meet him at the clock tower. When she meets him at the clock tower he bludgeones her. Next, he places her body on the minute hand which is horizontal at 8:15am. Then the teacher runs across campus where he is proctoring the SAT's. His car is placed underneath the bell tower with the alarm on. When the clock reaches 8:25am her body falls and hits the car setting off the alarm. The alarm allows everyone to know exactly what time her body fell. At this time he is across campus proctoring the SAT's giving him an alibi for the murder. This form of creativity involved the willingness to take risks. He left the body out in plain sight for 10 minutes. The bell tower faces the atheltic field which luckily for the murderer, was empty on the morning of the murder.
