Difficult to see how you even accomplish this, but I think in a just world, people who are arrested for some terrible crime and then acquitted wouldn't have a slew of news stories about it when you google their name.

I'd be all for that. Especially when the 24 hour news networks latch onto a random murder trial like Scott Peterson (who was found guilty) or Casey Anthony (who was acquitted) I just can't help but think that their lives are f**k ruined anyway. The verdict will just determine if it's a ruined life in prison or a ruined life outside of prison. We protect the identity of victims in criminal cases, so why not the accused? It really calls into question how much we believe in presumption of innocence.

Today, you are guilty till proved otherwise. If you get a media conviction before a jury conviction, your just screwed. The Baltimore cops just got screwed by the six mill payout to the family of some low life even before any trial. A freakin circus.

When a man or woman is let out of the cage (prison), there should be no strings attached. Sitting in the cage should pay their debt IN FULL. The strings almost guarantees a high recidivism rate.
