Fair enough. When that bothers me I'll let you know.

I don't subscribe to the "it is better to let a thousand guilty people go than to convict one guilty person" philosophy. I believe that if you find that one innocent person you should fight for them with everything you've got, rather than scrapping the system because someone fell through the cracks.

If that seems cold and calculating, it is, but this is just these are just words on the web. If you introduced me to a real flesh and blood person I might articulate my belief differently, but the point would still be the same.

I dont recall reading any post here that suggested letting any guilty person go free.

Life imprisonment w/o parole is not freedom and allows for the correction of the worst act the state can undertake....executing an innocent person.
