> You should do some basic research on how many people are falsely convicted. It's a LOT It's something like 4-6%. For some crimes it may be as low as 1% and for others as high as 10%. There are many reasons why this happens and there's no one thing that's going to drastically lower the rate: - Although it may seem unbelievable, a significant percentage of these convictions were the result of confessions - A significant percentage of the wrongfully-convicted pleaded guilty - Oftentimes the defendant is known to police who are reasonably certain they've committed other heinous crimes (this is the "he's guilty of something" argument) Some information here: https://innocenceproject.org/research-resources/ https://innocenceproject.org/research-resources/
