The bigger issue that everyone should be able to agree on, morals aside, is that the legal system makes mistakes. It has to, it's made up of people. And we aren't perfect. LEOs, attorney, judges, juries — there's no shortage of people who can make an error in the process.

Of course mistakes are made; although, word states we should take special care to ensure there are not. 

So should we forego all punishment, just in case society gets it wrong?
