” What is “funny” about this?

Closely related to the idea that an individual is innocent until proven guilty, the Blackstone Ratio means that democratic societies do not sacrifice the liberties of the innocent in order to punish the guilty. “

Well, for one, he doesn’t seem to understand the difference between being arrested and “punishment”. That’s pretty laughable, I’d say.

And you are fine with using the judicial process to punish before trial?

IF the setting of a $1,000,000 bond is NOT punishment, then the word has no meaning. (There's a lot of THAT going on these days. Lay off the Kool Ade)
