Well... this is thoroughly depressing.


Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Juries Often Get It Wrong:
"A Northwestern University study of 290 non-capital cases in four cities found that juries arrive at the wrong verdict in about one of six cases, and judges aren't much better. It also found that the errors are more likely to send an innocent person to jail than to let a guilty person go free."

Clearly I know this to be true. I mean, I acted in 12 Angry Men in high school.
