In articles about "innocent until proven guilty" it is popular to say that it is better to let 100 guilty go free than one innocent be erroneously convicted. Yet, many are willing to seize assets before that person is proven guilty in case they try to hide the assets or spend them when the assets are possibly not theirs. I would rather let 100 criminals hide ill-gotten gains than let one innocent person have their assets seized before they can mount a proper defense. Prosecutors: Freedom means that your job is harder, but fairness and the rule of law is part of what makes this a great country to live in. We will appreciate your sacrifice if/when this issue is ever remedied |

It is popular to say, but so often I think people don't actually believe it once they are taken to task on it. For example, given evidence that there is a 98% chance someone significantly harmed a child, most people would vote guilty, even though this equates to jailing 2 innocent people to make sure that 98 guilty do get punished.
