> I rather many guilty person go free from the state not being able to prove their guilt rather than one innocent person be wrongly convicted.
This is one of those lines that is great in theory but much tougher in practice.
We are talking about murder here. So if ten people are on trial for murder and one of them is innocent but the other nine are guilty you would rather all ten be free then all ten be in prison? How comfortable are you with setting free nine murderers into your community?
What if it is 100 and 99 of them are guilty and one is innocent?
There is no correct answer here. I struggle this with myself and it's an interesting dilemma (like the trolley problem). But I think your statement is easy to say in theory but harder in reality when you're talking about releasing murderers into a community.

There is a lot of "I really want this guy to be innocent" in the true crime genre.
I felt the same way with "Making a Murderer". First time I watched it I felt he was innocent, then I started looking at it more closely and he definitely did it

Have you ever been issued a work phone?
For many people it is their only phone. It's a perk and usually just means you can use it like a personal phone but you can also access work email.

>COLUMBUS, Ga. -- Police have arrested two people — one just 15 years old — in connection with a shooting in a Georgia city last week near the Alabama state line that left nine children injured.
>Police did not release the teenage suspect's name but said he was a “validated gang member” and was taken to a youth detention center on one count of aggravated assault, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. D'Angelo Robinson Sr., 35, was booked into the Muscogee County Jail on eight counts of aggravated assault.
>Police Chief Freddie Blackmon said at a news conference a day after the shooting that an altercation apparently took place at a party nearby and it spilled over to the gas station when the shooting began. Further details were not provided, but Blackmon said the incident remained under investigation.
What kind of party is this where a 35 year old and a 15 year old are both attending?

I don't think people realize how many people in the Muslim world view Israel (and honestly to a similar extent Jews).
I am from Egypt. Watch what happens on this prank style TV show when this actor is told the woman interviewing him is Israeli

So serious question. How many murders would you be willing to release to spare one innocent person.
Let's say there are 300,000 people in prison for murder right now. Statistically at least one is innocent. Probably much more than one.
Should we release all 300,000 people convicted of murder in order to ensure that the innocent are let free?
