Poll: Which is worse?

[Spurminator]

Just curious what you guys think.

[Spurminator]

The answer is not being able to create polls.

[Spurminator]

Anyway, what I was going to ask is which of the following is worse?

- A murderer gets away with the crime
- An innocent person is convicted of murder

[EmoHipstercan]

Epic Fail got.

[CubanSucks]

once again the polls up. It's happened to me twice already.



Tough call. Depends on the people. If someone like the BTK Killer or Dahmer was the murderer set free then I'd say that would be worse than the average person wrongfully being imprisoned. But let's say it's a very successful doctor and father of 5 that's wrongfully imprisoned then I'd say that's worse than someone who murdered once being let free

Innocent person being locked up.

[coyotes_geek]

Definitely locking up the innocent guy is worse.

[InRareForm]

Locking up the innocent.

[Blake]

Innocent person being locked up.

Definitely locking up the innocent guy is worse.

The first one probably happens more than one would think...
The second does not happen very often...

Tell that to all the innocents in prison right now.

Once is already too much.

he didn't say innocents are never wrongfully convicted

"better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"

- William Blackstone

it's a great ideology...until you actually think about it

[silverblk mystix]

Tell that to all the innocents in prison right now.

I highly doubt if there are any truly innocents imprisoned right now.

[coyotes_geek]

it's a great ideology...until you actually think about it

.....or until you're the one innocent who gets locked up with the ten guiltys.

Seems a bit of a reach to think that 99.9% of the mistakes made by the justice system are on one side of the coin.

Actually it's not

ok

So a 90% justice system error is better than a 10% justice system error?
