"The prosecutors intend to pad their career profiles by shredding a good and innocent man's life."
Don't know anything about this guy, but you aren't talking to deaf ears. This makes sense. Regardless of who is innocent or guilty, that system runs like a conveyer belt from charge to jail. Once it starts, they're looking to slot a piece of cargo on it. Doesn't matter who. It justifies their funding to carry out the process. Now, it may be true that there are tons of bad people who fit the bill. There are innocent ones, too. Lots of them in the USA. So many that we're aware of major problems with the system. Racial problems, class problems with affording defense. And for crimes like this, pre-judgement simply because it has so much stigma.
There's a logic term, "prosecutor's fallacy" that states that because a crime is common, if someone is accused it's probably true. In other words- if someone wins the lottery, the odds say they probably shouldn't- so if they do, didn't they cheat? No. So regardless of how many guilty people are in this system, an innocent one isn't going to have good odds to be vindicated.
Again, don't know this guy, but don't feel unheard.
Thank you for comments.
