There is an old saying that it’s better for 100 guilty people to go free than for an innocent person to be unjustly punished. Do you agree? What do you think is the right balance for our society to strike?

Answer:

that's hard

Step-by-step explanation:

when i first think about it i would say yes i agree, but really we need more information. are these guilty people guilty of horrible crimes like murder, kidnapping...or are the just guilty of petty crimes like stealing a few items from the grocery store. personally i would hope no one goes to jail who is inocent, but it happens. there really cant be a perfect balance. that would be a utopia. if there was the abilty for a perfect balance there would be no one doing time for things they didnt do. there would be no killings. so ultimately i would have to say no. i disagree.
