Actually, it’s Blackstone’s formulation (also known as Blackstone’s ratio or the Blackstone ratio) that states the principle...”better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer”.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on tv, but I've had kids, and I've heard of Blackstone (actually read some of the later versions). And I've been a chef long enough to know how sordid American justice is these days.

I may have missed the quote. For that I am sorry. The sentiment continues.
