"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
- William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England, IV, 1765
Do the Powerful Forgive Themselves More Easily? If the government makes a mistake and collects more taxes than you lawfully owe, if you are lucky maybe one day you will get it refunded. But if you make a mistake what happens to you?
If you buy several items at a retail store, then get home and notice you were overcharged for some items, if your willing to take the time and trouble to drive back to the store, hopefully you may get a refund. But if you leave a retail store and mistakenly forget to pay for an item, what happens to you? Will they let you just apologize and pay for the item?
Is there a double standard in our society for Big Brother vs. "the little guy?" Does an imbalance of power, poison the well of justice?
If a police officer takes your kids and tells you that you will lose them unless you "confess" to something you did not do, would you feel pressured to do so?
Sir William Blackstone, English jurist, wrote treatise on the Common Law
Is it a good idea to trust the police, and simply tell what happened, without a lawyer? If a police officer screams a "Miranda warning" of your legal rights with a loaded gun pointed at your head, what message will you understand from this?
If you are interviewed about an alleged traffic crime involving an accident, while in your hospital bed with a traumatic head injury on a I.V. of opiate pain-killer drugs, is your "confession" truly voluntary? Is it reliable, accurate?
If you are at work, trying your best to understand complicated federal regulations and comply with them, then something goes very wrong, when they come looking for a fall-guy or scapegoat, could you be a target for a federal criminal investigation? Or, subpoenaed to testify before a Grand Jury - as a "witness," or for possible indictment for some vaguely defined federal fraud crime?
