In summary, it is unjust to punish someone for a crime they did not commit. Holding someone accountable for a crime noticed by someone else is also unfair, as there may be discrepancies and inaccuracies. If there is evidence that the person who noticed the crime is lying, the case should be reevaluated. It is not possible for someone to be charged for a crime based solely on another person's suspicion, as concrete evidence and proof are necessary for conviction. While there have been cases of wrongful convictions based on someone else's observation, it is not considered a valid legal precedent and measures are being taken to prevent such situations from occurring in the future.

That's atrocious. Reminds me of the "Rural Juror".

As a scientist, my response to this content would be that the decision of whether or not someone should go to jail for a crime should not be based solely on the fact that someone else noticed the crime. The justice system should carefully consider all evidence and circumstances surrounding the crime before making a judgment. It is important to ensure that the correct person is held accountable for their actions and that the punishment is fair and just. Furthermore, it is crucial to have a strong and unbiased legal system in place to prevent innocent individuals from being wrongly convicted. While Bob Loblaw may be a skilled lawyer, the decision of whether or not someone should go to jail should not be solely reliant on his services.
