Once a case is under trial, that’s their job, isn’t it, just as it’s the job of the defense to get an acquittal, even if they think or even know you did it?
I think the problem is pre trial, with trials getting started even though there’s no good evidence.
- jncfhnb 3y agoYes it is their job. That’s stupid. You’re an absolute stain on society if you sit around thinking “this guy seems innocent but I bet I can send him to jail if I convince everyone he’s a scary person” We are confusing diligence and factual reporting with incentivized persuasion.
