Amanda Knox and world juries

I don’t know if Amanda Knox is guilty or innocent, but the very fact that we as humans have real doubt is a major issue!

Living in NYC, I have learnt the hard way, Cops are most often god-complex people who have no qualms about lying and causing untold amounts of pain to anyone. While I have no first hand experiences it seems to me judges and DA are much the same. Kings historically have murdered innocent people all the time. As a replacement we now we have governments that do the same.

The only solution is that any DA or cop who is caught lying, shall face the same maximum punishment that he or she was trying to inflict onto the prisoner. For example, if a DA has a fellow prisoner lie to jury for a reduced sentence about a confession. in a murder case, (even if the DA truly believes the suspect is guilty) the DA should face the death penalty.

Any faith in a judicial system needs to be based on trust that those in position of power are honest. That faith at least for this person has eroded to the extent I would never trust the word of a cop as unbiased or a DA as gospal, and would never convict anyone without independent sources (such as DNA) that prove guilt.
