[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm 6 episodes in. I haven't fully formed my opinions on the case.

I did want to clarify something.

Not-Guilty and Innocent are NOT the same thing.

Not-Guilty means that you were not found beyond reasonable doubt to have done an alleged something.

Innocent means you didn't do the alleged something.

It's possible that Steve Avery killed the victim, but the police department fracked up the investigation so bad that there is reasonable doubt.


Additionally. Are these judges elected? The concept of electing judges boggles my mind, but I know in the States some are. I also find it strange that the justice system is set up in a left and right leaning way. Republican judges and Demoncrat judges and not a "the law is the law" sort of way which we strive for here in Canada. (Not saying out system is perfect by any means).



I'll finish on this note. I once had a professor tell the class that the easiest conviction to get is murder. It's almost as if the standard is lowered because people want "the killer" found and behind bars.
