Yikes! I think it would result in zero convictions. Pascal's wager.
[/ QUOTE ]Yikes is right. Kinda scares me that you think that no one would be willing to take personal responsiblity for the state of the criminal justice system. But it does help to explain how we got into the situation to begin with.

You are suggesting that one could be sent to prison for being part of a jury that convicted a person based on false evidence. As a juror, one is supposed to make a judgement based upon the evidence presented at trial. If that evidence is flawed or false, a juror's decision will be commensurately flawed. Your scenario is anathema to liberty. Thus, "Yikes!"
[/ QUOTE ]So let me get this straight; the evidence can be flawed or false, yet you think it's fair to decide things this way, provided it doesn't affect you?
