It is fascinating because the notion of guilt may be difficult to apprehend. It could be that the investigation of guilt is very carefully pursued, with a lot of rules, a lot of evidence. It could also be that for 'most cases' the outcome is actually fairly straight foward? Also, once someone is found to be 'guilty' - then we are free to 'loathe and pity then'. Whereas guilt/innocence is mostly a black and white affair, subject to objective guidance ... the sentencing may not be, which is to say, it's maybe hard to reference 'what is a little and what is a lot' in any given scenario, so are bias are more likely to run free.
