Let me give you two extremes- would you rather have a system that often convicts innocent people and gets most of the criminals or one where some criminals escape from the consequences of their crime but far many more innocent people are set free? Clearly the founders favored the latter and unfortunately Anthony is likely one of those few guilty set free as a cost of protecting innocent defendants from conviction through the reasonable doubt standard.
Sorry, had to get away from the computer and tv before my head exploded. :/
I know what you say is right but having experienced the murdered or my brother in 1987 get off with a misdemeanor has me tihnking one sided. One good thing though. The woman whop was in on it (who we think had a life insurance policy on him) is now in Denver state prison serving 3 consecutive 30 year sentences. Be 30 years before she gets out. The man is on the FBI list of drug dealers. Still looking for him.
