We do not punish criminals based on the small percentage that might actually be innocent of the crime they have been found guilty of in a court of law by a jury of their peers.We punish criminals based on the severity of the crime they have committed.The more severe the crime the individual has committed the more severe the punishment the individual will receive for committing that crime.
