Or does it depend on the crime?

An interesting question, Synonym. Thanks for raising it.

I suppose my gut answer is it's better to let a guilty person go free but then if (say) a murderer walks and kills again then you feel awful.

And it's impossible to be totally infallible about these things so I don't know. I lean towards the better to let a guilty person go free but I'm sure members will have different opinions on that subject.

Hunny: Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them
and you have their shoes.
