[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is the United States. Our jurisprudence, our entire system of justice, due process in particular, is premised on the value statement: it is better for 10 guilty to go free than 1 innocent person be unjustly imprisoned. This is called Blackstone's Ratio, and it is also the premise of the British system. Our founding fathers repeated this principle over and over again. The people who believe the opposite are call "authoritarian," and we rejected them way back in the 1700s. [/quote] I'm not aware of it being called Blackstone's Ratio. That would imply that a 9% error rate or below is acceptable.[/quote] Omg, you don’t understand this principle at all. It’s not about error rates. It’s specifically about erring on the side of protecting innocent people. [/quote] That's why I objected to the use of 'ratio' vs the principle.[/quote]
