Ah, probably the brilliant type of thinking that got him wrongly convicted in the first place. Maybe you and the prosecutor can share tips on how to railroad innocent people.Hmmmm....I wondered how long before you would resort to insults. I'm not very concerned with what you think of my level of intelligence. I AM concerned with the fact that sex offenders are usually repeat offenders. Keeping them in prison means they don't get the chance...That's all I'm saying.

Oh, so since they are usually repeat offenders (as are any criminals), that's acceptable he went to prison for a crime he didn't commit? After all, he probably would have done it again, right? Isn't that what you said?
It's because of that type of thinking that prior bad acts aren't usually admissible, because people jump to conclusions without examining the facts at hand.
Hey, if you want to live in a city or country with a lot of crime, fine. Pile on the years, build bigger, stronger prisons, do it all. It doesn't work. It's not the answer.
