I agree with this statement of William Blackstone. This quote means that an innocent person should not be falsely accused and therefore, it 's better for ten criminals to be let free.It is not fair that one does the harm and another bears the blame. Punishing someone for a crime they did not commit is just as terrible as committing a crime itself.

This statement it is the basics of the American legal system: society must punish criminals in order to preserve itself but the law says that any person who is accused of a crime must be presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.I believe that in some circumstances it is better to let the ten go rather than to keep the one innocent a prisoner.

There is no way for the innocent man to be consoled
