[Age of Reason]

It is rarely wrong to err on the side of grace. What we see today is convicted murderers and pedophiles let loose and innocent people falsely accused and jailed.

I wonder how "innocent" many of these DNA acquitted prisoners are.

I wonder how much they resembled model citizens before being locked up.

I strongly suspect that if the cops framed or railroaded any of those people into jail, the cops did so because it was the only way to get those turned-loose murderers and pedophiles you speak of off the streets for a while, because the courts keep setting them free.

Instead of my saying that I wonder how much they resembled model citizens before being locked up.

I should have said that I wonder how much they resembled model citizens before being locked up for the one crime they didn't do.

The ends justifies the means, even if it perverts the law and makes a mockery out of the judicial system that helps maintain our society. Wonderful, in stead of fixing what is broken, they go out and make it worse.
