What does this mean to you?

It is better that 10 guilty persons go free than that one innocent person be punished.

I think the meaning of the sentence is very clear; it is very wrong to punish a person for something they didn't do. I would rather have someone walking around and not being punished than one innocent person being punished. Essentially, what that does is add to the number of criminals because the once innocent person becomes hardened.

I got "the Lord Loves more then he Hates." but he doesn't allow evil to go unpunished so in the words of a very mad cat "then it really doesn't matter!" I Love that movie!
