Theoretical question- does the professional confidentiality issue apply only after a crime is committed? What if someone told his doctor or minister of whatever religion that he is planning to commit murder. From a legal point of view, can he break the trust? is he obligated to? If he doesn’t, is he an accessory to the crime?
