The lack of it has left me defending some people I really don’t want to defend, but damnit, if it’s equal Justice before the Law and not “Find me the man and I’ll find you the crime”, we need to make good cases for known crimes and not just pursue bias.
I do get it. It’s frustrating seeing so many people seeming to get away with things. Still gotta calm down and think. Be the autists we were born to be!
I know people who I know, without doubt, were found guilty just because they were falsely accused, and the people charged with judging the case couldn’t think critically.
You know… I always heard “better for 100 guilty to go free than one innocent to be falsely convicted”. The exact opposite statement.
I always took it as “if criminals get in charge of things, they’ll try and wrongfully convict the innocent, so it’s better that we let 100 criminals go free than that to happen.”
Was that statement propagated by criminals, though? Fundamentally, we are probably all guilty of something, so it’s definitely a good question that is worth giving some thought.
