“Several thousand murderers are walking free each year” probably needs some more commitment - the thought experiment isn’t just saying these free murderers are

“Several thousand murderers are walking free each year” probably needs some more commitment - the thought experiment isn’t just saying these free murderers are living a life with no repercussions for past crimes but that this represents some quantity of future murders that would otherwise not happen.
Let’s say thousands of murderers going free that otherwise wouldn’t results in one person dying that otherwise wouldn’t.
Is one person unjustly dying with zero chance of resurrection better than one innocent person going to prison with a non-zero chance of exoneration?
- buttercraft 4y ago> zero chance of resurrection This assumes 100% chance of being murdered in the first place which isn't true. If you put an innocent person I'm prison, they definitely suffer for no reason. If a guilty person goes free, they might commit another crime.
