Jack, has anyone here said that they're happy about that? What about people like child rapists that get off because the police screwed up?
No one likes that. However, we understand that we must abide by the rule of law... that's the only fair way to do it.
You want to change the law for this case, but you can't just do that. You can't pick and choose where to apply the rules. It has to be across the board.
Our court system is set up so that if you're accused of something like murder, then the evidence better be very solid.
As Benjamin Franklin said, it is better to let 5 guilty men go free, then imprison one innocent.
Does that mean that sometimes people that are guilty slip through the cracks? Sure does, and it sucks. But that's the best way to ensure that we prevent tyranny, by ensuring strict demands on the prosecutors in our legal system.
