Subject: Re: ICE IS CLEANING UP MINNESOTA
The classic example being our requirement that accused criminals be given a trial by jury and only convicted upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That has the effect of reducing the number of innocent people in jail (good!) and increasing the number of guilty people who are not convicted (bad!). But someone can support due process because they want to protect innocent people without it being true that they want guilty people to go free.
That’s a great example! In fact most of us grew up listening to teachers and parents repeat the words of William Blackstone:
“It’s better that 10 guilty men be acquitted than 1 innocent man be condemned”.
