“Even after a person is accused of a crime, in the U.S. legal system, under our Constitution, every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Evans wrote to us in a statement. “While a case is pending, under the law, judges must impose the least restrictive pretrial conditions possible that ensure the defendant’s return to court and protect public safety. Jail is the most restrictive condition, depriving the accused of liberty, as well as access to jobs, education, family and the ability to aid in their defense.”
This is sometimes an uncomfortable fact. Don’t like it amend it. Until then this is how it should be for EVERYONE, not selectively respected based on demographics, race, or political affiliation. There is going to come a time soon when the shoe is on the other foot some of us might want this right to be applied to ourselves.
“It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer” ~ Blackstone
“That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer” ~ BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, letter to Benjamin Vaughan, March 14, 1785.
Those that are guilty beyond all doubt...Hang them till dead. And don't waste any time about it....
