  4. Norm's Conference Recognition Watch List

    It's a great quote as it unequivocally shows how we as a society view the importance of innocent until proved guilty.

    If we take the opposite of Blackstone's quote, which is what you are saying to it's logical conclusion then that would mean it is better that 10 innocent people should be found guilty rather than one 1 guilty person go free. Blackstone's statement was made for a reason and without nuance. Many have tried and failed to add nuance to Blackstone's formulation. Either you believe in innocence until proven guilty or you don't and if that means a potentially guilty person has not been proven guilty goes free then so be it as the alternative is considered a far worse outcome in a free society.

     

    Thats not what the quote you posted advocates for at all. Both that one and the inverse are stupid. Your original quote wieghts the suffering of one over the suffering of 10. Dumb. Feel free to believe that's not what the quote implys. It has nothing todo with the ”presumption" of innocense until proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt"

    A requirement for our bigs going  forward is being able to pass the ball. HCFH has seen the value of this skill set the last 2 seasons, especially when teams play zone.

    I would think after putting two full seasons of tape out there with how we use our bigs we're gonna be at or near the top of those type of bigs of some pretty good ones 😀

    I don't think you realize how influential Blackstone was as a legal scholar, and to our current system of justice and out constitution. To further clarify his statement. The goal is not to allow the guilty to go free. However, it ensures that the innocent are not unfairly jailed or punished. His formulation has been so influential that it is a legal right today. When accused of a crime, the legal system presumes you are innocent. Only when you are proven guilty can the law sentence you for your crimes.

     

    I don't disagree with that, but I stand by that's an awful quote. To further elaborate that quote does not capture, at all, with what you responded. Which, again, why it's awful 😉

    "Better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer."

    Not to venture too far into this and derail this thread again, but I want to highlight what an absolutely awful quote this is. Let's follow it out logically.

    This quote then means one would see it better that 10 people were murdered and their murders walk free than an innocent person suffer.

    Ten people raped and their rapist walk free than an innocent person suffer.

    Ten children molested and their molesters walk free than an innocent person suffer Etc.

    I'm positive every person in this board agrees an innocent person wrongly accused us a tragedy, but this quote doesn't serve that point well at all.

    Okay, I've seen bracket projections that have us anywhere from a 7 to 10 seed, locations all over the country except east coast.  We'll find out in less than two weeks.  Here's my question:  regardless of where we are and seeding, would you rather be in a Thursday/Saturday bracket or Friday/Sunday?  I remember the late night Thursday fiasco in Minneapolis in 91.  Princeton after we won the Big 8 tourney was a Thursday, I believe.  When Lue almost beat Arkansas was a Friday, IIRC.  So, what do you guys think?

    Friday. Gives us an extra day of rest after winning the BTT 😉
