Why, it's almost as if innocent until proven guilty is not a bedrock principle of our criminal justice system. That it would be better to lock up one innocent to prevent 100 guilty going free.
- tptacek 12y agoThere's really no discussion about criminal justice that you can't shut down by invoking "innocent until proven guilty" and taking the word "proven" in its mathematical sense.
- RickHull 12y agoI meant the "beyond a reasonable doubt, in a court of law" sense. Presumption of guilt is a very treacherous path to advocate.
