Kind of — it used to be that the legal idea we founded our judicial-system on was better that a dozen guilty men should be spared than one innocent condemned. (See Blackstone's Formulation)
This is why there's the grand jury (which determines if a trial should occur) and a petite jury (that sits and renders a verdict).
