I was speaking hypothetically in the case when the guilty is indeed guilty.
Besides that, it's not like innocent people don't get convicted anyway in our law systems, I understand there are irreversible punishments and even more irreversible punishments.
Yeah, I got that. But sometimes people think enthusiastically about these sorts of punishments without thinking of real world consequences. And I know that innocent people get caught up in our law system, that's why I said that it happens. It's even more to the point of restricting the types of punishments handed out by the courts. You kill someone or paralyze someone; it's kinda hard to undo that if it turns out they were innocent.
