We live in a system in which you are innocent until proven guilty. Because of this criminals sometimes get away with crimes they have committed. Do you think that we should keep this system or change to a philosophy of guilty until proven innocent?

remember where our laws came from, for a good and entertaining demonstration watch braveheart again and you will under stand the true intentions of our founding fathers, i would rather have a few guilty people get away with murder than have thousands of innocent people jailed for no reason
remember the salem wich trials

Innocent until proven guilty is how it should be. If criminals sometimes get away with crimes they have committed due to this, then why is it some people who did not commit crimes end up in prison for things they didn't do?
Wouldn't more innocent people end up in prison if it were "guilty until proven innocent"?

I believe that we should keep the current system the same. Our country has always been this way, and I believe it makes America what it is.
