I hate to jump in on an old random relevant thread I found matching some criteria searching for stuff but there is a question or two I'd like to ask.
What if you're wrong?
What if Derek Chauvin is innocent?
Would that be a bigger or a smaller disaster?
What if he is tortured or dies in prison?
What might the implications be of publicly convicting an innocent man and with it receiving the full support of the public?
What new standards of justice would this create and how would we put that into writing as part of an official system of law?
What would be the social implications of this and what might it say about people individually, as a whole or in general?
Should anyone receive a higher standard of justice or legal rights than Derek Chauvin and if so why?
Lets say hypothetically for example that his innocence can be formally proven and there are people who know that Derek Chauvin is innocent as a matter of fact and do not support wrongful convictions.
How would people who believe or support his conviction regardless look to those who know the truth and who would not support a wrongful conviction?
If someone supports a wrongful conviction of another should they themselves then have any right to complain were they to be wrongfully convicted?
Would false prosecutions of such a type at the hands of the crowd be paralleled at all in history?
What would be the implications if it turned out that a gross travesty of justice had been committed by a movement whose primary stated aim is to achieve more accurate justice?
