Benjamin Franklin stated it as: "it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer".

The American system, grounded in the British Common Law, has long erred on the side of protecting innocence. Thus we presume an accused person's innocence until they are proven guilty. As the preeminent English jurist William Blackstone wrote,"Better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer." This principle can also be found in religious texts and in the writings of the American Founders. Benjamin Franklin went further arguing "it is better a hundred guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer."

【獨媒報導】律政司建議修訂《刑事訴訟程序條例》，就高院沒有陪審團審訊的《國安法》案件，即使被3名指定法官裁定罪名不成立，律政司亦可以「案件呈述」（appeal by way of case stated）方式上訴，推翻無罪裁決，或者發還重審。律政司司長林定國今向立法會解釋，「將有罪的人判無罪釋放所造成的司法不公，不會小於將無辜的人定罪」，又指國安案件被告若獲「錯誤的無罪裁定」，可能引致極嚴重後果。

現時在高等法院有陪審團審訊的案件，若陪審團達成無罪裁決，律政司只可以就法律觀點要求澄清，不能介入推翻裁決。但區域法院和裁判法院的審訊，律政司則可提出「案件呈述」上訴並有機會推翻無罪裁決。
