      We don’t test for false convictions, which are as good as true ones for furthering careers in prosecution and law enforcement.

      We don’t know if our prison population is 10% innocent or 75% despite Blackstone’s ratio.

      In fact, when someone isn’t successfully convicted, it’s assumed the suspect got off on a technicality rather than continuing the investigation to find other suspects.
