I once asked him what percentage of perps serving death or life sentences did he think were actually innocent.
He gave me a deadpan look and replied "Damn near 100%. If you don't believe it, just ask them."
Very few guilty people in prison for sure lol
I’ve seen a few admit guilt
Frequently it’s not guilty for that particular charge
A high propensity for rationalization is a trait of the criminal bent
Except crimes of passion which can happen to fairly normal folk if pushed hard enough
Come home to find your beautiful dainty you love with all your heart getting slammed against the headboard heels up moaning louder than she ever did with you by some other hammer
That’s driven good men to lose sensibilities and lash out disastrously
