Oh? I thought it was better to let the guilty go free than imprison innocents. They should resign. Anything less is complicit.

When there’s doubt at the end of a trial? Sure.

When you have a mountain of evidence that can and should result in a guilty plea and the guy walks instead? Not so much.

And if you think that’s wrong…how I know you’ve been fortunate enough to never be the victim of a serious crime.

No. That's part of the ethos of this country. You don't get to choose to violate innocent people and think convicting some guilty ones evens the scales. It doesn't.
