fantastic, I never said that someone who is falsely accused should be put in jail. If you read my posts, I clearly say that only people who have been CONVICTED (meaning, been tried by a jury of their peers, and based on the evidence, convicted) should be put in jail.
I feel they should be put in jail for a long time for a heinous crime, and perhaps, mandatory sentencing is the only way for that to be assured.

This is where the big decision comes in - what is more important? Keeping an innocent man out of jail or letting a guilty man go free? I personally think that keeping an innocent man out of jail is what is most important. If a man is really guilty, he will commit a crime again...and he won't get away with it a second time. But in my opinion, to ruin an innocent person's life is a heinous crime in itself.

Now, let me get what you're saying. "If a man is really guilty, he will commit a crime again and he won't get away with it a second time" - so what? a criminal should get a free pass for the first crime? Because he will get caught the second time? WHAT???
Oh, that first victim doesn't matter - free pass, the SECOND victim will get the guy caught!
I must be misunderstanding you because you cannot possibly mean what I think you mean!
