      "the lifetime risk of being wrongfully convicted to the risk of being a victim of a violent crime. The relative risk ratio appears to be about 30,000 to 1." If so, we are trying way too hard to prevent wrongful convictions, relative to deterring crime.https://reason.com/volokh/2018/11/01/how-often-are-innocent-persons-convicted?fbclid=IwAR2Ac4e_BxGO74jcBt0nuKawrtBHgmBeinlo2wcG7NLWNLMDhpriG_xxjnk …

      I’d rather be punched in the mouth than wrongfully sentenced to 10 years in prison. Which is another way of saying I agree with tolerating some avoidable violent crime in return for a low probability of wrongful conviction.

      But would you rather be punched in the mouth 30,000 times?

          Well I only expect to live for 30,000 days. So I will say that being punched in the mouth once a day for my entire life would get tiresome. But I’d rather myself and 29,999 strangers get punched once and none of us are wrongfully convicted/sentenced.

          Sure, its easily to volunteer strangers to get punched.

          Whereas the alternative is to volunteer strangers to get falsely convicted. Moral of the point?

          whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.

          It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, whether
