It doesn't matter if I think they're infallible. Their decision is the decision. Unless you want to revamp our criminal justice system, I don't see what good it does to even bring this kind of isolated incident into the discussion.

Slippery slope and all of that. "We should wait for all of the evidence before casting judgment." "But sometimes rapists get off anyway!"

And?

Murderers get off. Robbers get off. Criminals of all sorts get off all of the time for whatever reason. That doesn't mean we correct that injustice by operating under preponderance of evidence standards just to get around the need for clear and convincing evidence.

So throwing out isolated incidents of false rape accusations as evidence that we should withhold our personal judgement is perfectly acceptable, but pointing out that we have an inherently flawed judicial system is just grasping at straws and should be dismissed as superfluous? You want us to let a legal proceeding that has been shown to be shady, at best, play out before we punish someone by just thinking they may be guilty? Seems legit...
