You're kidding right? Right? Because that's the most back-asswards thing I've heard today, and I just had a lifelong smoker try to reason his way into smoking more before a major surgery.it doesn't really matter whether one committed a crime, only that one was fairly tried.

The state cannot possibly make a distinction between "actually" innocent or guilty, and innocent or guilty as determined by a court. The courts are essentially the state's sensory input, if your senses produce wrong information, there's nothing you can do. So the state should seek to implement a court system that best finds the truth (but more likely will implement a court system that serves its own ends).
