- Prosecuting innocent men is one thing, but I assume that you mean that you
- don't want innocent men convicted either. That necessitates that men
- guilty of rape, or many other crimes, may go unpunished. The rules
- of the game seem fair.
-
- On the other hand, if you believe that following the rules don't
- lead to fairness, then you shouldn't be questioning the rules or details of
- the legal system; rather you should be questioning why the whole
- thing is a fraud!
