I don’t believe anyone is guilty unless they were literally photographed holding the bloody knife while standing over the body and even then I’ll need some convincing to rule out potential mitigating circumstances.

The antithesis of this is that plenty of real crime (e.g., not Drug War bullshit) undeniably occurs, and until we have a radical shift in the underlying political structure of the U.S. people are going to look for some measure of justice in the horrible criminal legal system that currently exists.

The synthesis would be something like:

1. Shifting the conversation to preventing crime (by eliminating poverty and guaranteeing basic needs) instead of picking up the pieces afterwards.
2. Hammering the idea that in a free society there will be some risk, and some crimes will not result in a conviction.
3. Highlighting that many people who probably committed a crime are punished heavily even if they're never convicted (just by interaction with the horrible system we have).

This is all in addition to the million ways we could make immediate improvements to the existing system.
