The real scary thing is the reason these people have to "fight" so hard even with all evidence against the fake evidence and incompetence on theire side.

Jurys who fear the idea of having been fatally wrong more then they want too find out the truth. The idea that one could in his seemingly rightous wrath murdered someone innocent using a loaded state, seems so horrifying that more injustice has to be sunken into that fallacy.

Agencys who fear to be held responsible for the costs of incarceration and incompetence, on which whole carreernetworks where errected upon.

Finally a public, that all idealizations from the left and right, often consists of basically rage-foaming ill informed refusing the work-load of getting actually informed on a case.

Also the well sortedness a universe has, where for everyting bad that happens, there is a culprit, a actual blame person. So much more comforting to sleep at night with having propability in jail, instead of accepting the dangers that beeing alive inherits.



Easy to solve with accountability and its friend the chilling effect. Prosecutors should serve whatever wrongful time they put someone in jail for. I bet we would see wrongful convictions drop to zero.


But then prosecutors would be much less willing to take acceptable risk when called for because the punishments are so draconian. That being said, letting a dangerous criminal free is much better than having a single innocent incarcerated.


There is a concept I only just learned about yesterday which covers this idea:

I know. I addressed the chilling effect as a net positive. Given the overwhelming power the state has in the trial process, it's the only check I find appropriately/equally as potent.
