How many thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people are being in jail around the western world right now based on false convictions? Because whoever wanted to nail you for something you did not actually do happened to have a better way of convincing a jury then those who were defending you.
The judicial system as it stands is not about finding out the truth, it’s about making sure you have the best arguments to make the jury believe you.
The jailing system does not work. And no I am not saying I want rapists and murderers and actual horrible people out in the streets, that is not what I am saying but the jailing system is not about making sure truth prevails. It is about being the best in the courtroom in making someone believe you and how many times does not the ones who want to nail you for something win? Even if they are not really having the truth? They have only their truth, their believes. not the actual truth.
What about the evidence I hear you say. Yes evidence is key but how many times can evidence not be used wrongly? Evidence is more often than not used by either side to prove their point of view, not to prove the actual truth.
The judicial system has to be heavily altered or the numbers of people who are wrongly in jail for things they did not actually do will keep on increasing and one innocent person in jail is one too many. Period.
