Most criminal convictions are based on circumstantial evidence. True crime podcasts and shows have made the general population expect a higher level of evidence. I can't say I disagree.
- scarface_74 2y agoAnd how many people are wrongfully convicted?
- matwood 2y agoHard to know an exact number, since we only know of ones who crossed the huge hurdles to reverse a conviction. And those require a very high bar of exacting evidence like DNA. But, the system should bend towards letting guilty people go free rather putting innocent people in jail.
