Appropriate response: "If we convict the wrong guy, the real murderer goes free, you realize".
Well, considering what they did was a crime. Being treated like a criminal seems fair.
Maybe you should not always try and be the worst thing society will allow you without jail time.
Holy shit. Someone needs to get put in prison for this. Others get locked away for far less.
It's immoral to put people in jail for this.
Ah, I see! So if one does a crime, but has done the time, one is ok. If one hasn't done a crime but does something you don't agree with, then it's bad. Thank you for clarifying!

I don't think that's the answer. People can be wrongfully convicted.
You don't understand, it's better for 10 innocent people to go to jail than for one guilty one to escape.
It seems cruel and unkind to punish someone for a crime they were tried for and found not guilty (on all counts) of.
