You may not be aware of this, but the actual *aim* of our system of justice is *not* to punish the guilty, but to *prevent* the innocent from being convicted. That is *why* we have principles such as "innocent until proven guilty".
Yes, sometimes someone slips through the net. Yes, sometimes mistakes are made (on both sides!), but I think what we have is better than any other system.
