Our system of justice at times doesn't work. No one doubts that at times there is corruption in the administration of justice, and at other times the very system itself creates what some see as an injustice when an accused goes free on a technicality.
The technicalities are important, and the jury and justice system although flawed, is the best system we have.
There are a number of BOI threads where someone is accused of being a Bad Guy, yet later input and evidence exonerates them.
If you are too fast at cutting off hands, there really isn't much to be done if the person is later exonerated.
I am in no way saying that people should not be punished for their misdeeds. But is immediate vigilante retribution especially of a permanent nature a good solution? Imagine if it was your kid or spouse that was falsely accused and had a speedy and permanent correction administered by a few that were intent on justice but mistaken as to the facts .
