You obviously have no idea how the courts work. I’ve done about 35 criminal jury trials, and if your theory were correct the state would hardly ever lose. Spoiler alert - sex offenses are some of the hardest cases because people like you want DNA evidence in cases of molestation that aren’t disclosed by the victims for years.You obviously have no idea how advertising or propaganda works. It is not one person worried about being called a pedophile enabler, it is the community or the market. As I said earlier, people buy and drink poison or buy things they don't need and some afterwards say they never saw the product or service advertised. This is exactly how advertising or propaganda works. It influences your decision making and you don't even know it.
Do you have any idea how many judicial convictions are overturned? Maybe you should do some research.
If you go back and read my posts again you would see that I did not specify any religion. I responded to another poster's questions to show that it included the majority of religious people in the US.
It sound like you may be a professor who is against praying and would rather live in a robotic society where the government tells you what to do and think. And if they decree someone is guilty, then their word goes and you cannot dispute it. Good luck in that world but I have had friends who lived in those countries and I hope you get to move somewhere where you can experience it.
One thing I want to be clear about is that even though Sandusky's heart was in the right position I do think that he went beyond boundaries. And there should have be some consequence to his actions. And I am fine giving those child rapist caught in the act or who admitted to these terrific acts 30 year prison terms.
how many convictions are overturned? Not very damn many. I read the court of appeals opinions on the regular. It’s not that it never happens, but it’s incredibly rare as a percentage.
You 100% identified what you called the “three major faiths” as being, surprise surprise, the Abrahamic faiths.
I’m not a professor, I’m an attorney. The government hasn’t told me that Sandusky is guilty, the jury (the people) have.
