People just need to put themselves in others shoes for a few moments.
Any crime/alledged crime regardess of how despicable, should not be
justification for further injustice being done. That injustice can be done,
as stated earlier, by raising unjustified suspicion, or interfering in
others lives without sufficent information.
In the US it appears that unborn children have no rights and can be treated
as non-entities and disposed of. Born children do have rights, and you
better not mess up or do anything someone else feels is abusive, or you risk
being turned into the authorities. And apparently rights of children trump
the rights of anyone 18 or older.
All that's needed is a sense of all around fairness and recognition that any
number of wrongs do not make a right.

I agree. Not that I want to fan the flames any further, but to me, an
innocent person sitting in jail for ~any~ length of time is as serious
a crime as any crime perpetrated by an individual. It's a crime in
which we are all complicit, and for which we all bear some
responsibility.
To expand on a point that I made in an earlier post, while any portion
stolen from an individual's life can't be fully repaid, at least some
efforts can be made at restitution or compensation they won't replace
that lost time, but, as you said, perhaps it's the least of many
possible evils...
cheers,
frank
