Just this week they released an innocent man about 40 ish... he was on death row and in the pen for years.

For raping and killing a young woman.

They found out she was not raped and through DNA... he was not the murderer. That is so sad...for him.

He probably can sue. Don't know.

The first option is worse. The Bible makes it clear that we must forgive anyone who wrongs us, and it doesn't add any qualifiers about forgiving them after they've been punished. Matthew 18 specifical

In a way Jesus was innocent, made guilty for us..... (if you see what I mean). So to echo others, it can't really be answered. The fact that Jesus was found guilty, and chose to die, is why we l

I vote "neither".

I just can't imagine how one is worse than the other they both seem completely awful to me.

For an innocent person to be in gaol for something they didn't do (and I know a man who has been wrongly convicted) it's awful for them and hard on the family and friends.

For a guilty person to go free is awful for the victim and their family as they see no justice.

There is potential for damage to the innocent person in gaol, and damage to the victim if a guilty person is set free.

Society is adversely affected by having guilty people on the loose and adversely effected by the loss of the innocent person shut up in gaol.

The victim might be able to forgive the guilty person but in the same way the innocent person might be able to forgive those responsible for their incarceration.

So I really can't see how one is worse than the other.

A wise woman shared something with me which caused me to think about my position more and this is what I have come to:

Assuming that both crimes are not "victimless crimes" but that both crimes have a victim and assuming that both crimes have a perpetrator and that neither are accidents - in the scenario of an innocent person (man or woman) wrongly convicted there are two victim, the victim of the crime and the innocent person.

In the scenario of a guilty person (man or woman) wrongly acquitted there is one victim, victim of the crime.

I believe that between the victim of the crime and the innocent person wrongly gaoled, neither is a greater victim than the other.

However I believe the scenario of an innocent person wrongly convicted is worse than the scenario of a guilty person wrongly acquitted because it involves two victims.

I don't intend to vote in the poll.

Which is least desirable.

An innocent man being found guilty or a guilty man being found innocent ?

I am saved because an innocent "man" was found guilty. He paid for my sins.

Neither is desirable, not sure that one is any more less desirable than the other. They are both a big problem. There are innocent people in jail and guilty people who get off with no penality whatsoever. One thing is for certain though, the guilty that are found innocent will still have to face God in judgment. For it is written: Vengence is mine saith the Lord. I thank God for his grace, his love, his mercy and his forgiveness. Edited by Love is alive

I think that is a very uique situation Ayin..... and one that would be much different if we were speaking of anyone else.....

In our court system, it seldom works that way...
