so which do you think is worse? punishing an innocent person (from fines, jail, or evan death) or letting a guilty person go free and unpunished? |
Thats a no brainer. Punishing an innocent person is much worse. When answering this question you need to put yourself in the place of the innocent person being punished if you wish to answer it ethically and fairly.
