You must be guilty of something, right?” Does this sound familiar? Most prosecutors and law enforcement officials focus their careers on the concept that an allegation must mean you have done something wrong. 

Thus, they will do whatever they can to find a way to convict you. Our criminal justice system leverages the threat of significant incarceration, its access to limitless resources, and the prospect of collateral consequences to focus on a chosen suspect to get a conviction by any means possible. 

Unfortunately, during the investigation, often over minor misdemeanors, the accused are often ostracized by their community, losing time, money, friends, and liberties.

Our criminal justice system was founded on much more respectable ideals. In 1785, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “It is better (one hundred) guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer.”
