People need to understand that one of the reasons for putting people in prison is to make an example of them - deterrence. So, it really doesn't matter if the person you send to prison is actually guilty or innocent. It still serves as an example so long as the mistake is never exposed. It is appeals like this one that cause the damage.
I can't believe you said that.

Don't jump too hard. He's making a point. He's not approving of the damage the appeals cause. Words matter.
