The scum our 8th amendment protects

That's awful, but unfortunately there are always going to be innocent people wrongly convicted of crimes. The best we can do is provide trials that are as fair as possible and take measures to keep LE and DAs from pressuring witnesses to stretch the truth (not to imply that they normally do that). Neither time nor testacles will grow back, so let's try to get it right the first time.

By the way, thanks for your service Ronin.

You're welcome. And I agree, gladly we for the most part do get it right, but there are rare cases where the innocent do get wrongly convicted- we call those moments "Hollywood films." Sorry, had to lighten the mood, my last post was pretty gloomy.
