I come from the liberal side of thinking: Better one guilty man should walk free than one innocent man found guilty.

Ian McShane

Your mother all but accused me of something that is, among my kind, the highest crime a man can commit. There is no trial, only punishment, because it is considered better to let an innocent man die than let a guilty one live." (Page 79.)

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved.

Benjamin Franklin

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored... Better to die than to live in slavery.

Emmeline Pankhurst

It's not about whether you are innocent or guilty. It's about whether or not you can prove you're innocent. If you can't prove you're innocent, then you're considered guilty. It's been flipped: Now it's guilty until proven innocent.

Ronald Jones

Just as the liar 's punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed , but that he cannot believe any one else; so a guilty society can more easily be persuaded that any apparently innocent act is guilty than that any apparently guilty act is innocent.

George Bernard Shaw

All judges had rather that ten innocent should suffer than that one guilty should escape.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

It is better that ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer.

William Blackstone

It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer.

William Blackstone

It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.

Voltaire

An innocent man, if accused, can be acquitted; a guilty man, unless accused, cannot be condemned. It is, however, more advantageous to absolve an innocent than not to prosecute a guilty man.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Any time that when you're rich and guilty, you're treated better than if you're poor and innocent, something has to change.

Rob Morgan

It is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death.

Maimonides

When a plane crashes and some die while others live, a skeptic calls into question God's moral character, saying that he has chosen some to live and others to die on a whim; yet you say it is your moral right to choose whether the child within you should live or die. Does that not sound odd to you? When God decides who should live or die, he is immoral. When you decide who should live or die, it's your moral right.

Ravi Zacharias

We have a system of justice in [the US] that treats you much better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. Wealth, not culpability, shapes outcomes.

Bryan Stevenson

A new theory is guilty until proven innocent, and the pre-existing theory innocent until proven guilty ... Continental drift was guilty until proven innocent.

David M. Raup
