#innocence — Public Fediverse posts

A quotation from John Adams

   We are to look upon it as more beneficial, that many guilty persons should escape unpunished, than one innocent person should suffer. The reason is, because it’s of more importance to community, that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt should be punished; for guilt and crimes are so frequent in the world, that all of them cannot be punished; and many times they happen in such a manner, that it is not of much consequence to the public, whether they are punished or not.
   But when innocence itself, is brought to the bar and condemned, especially to die, the subject will exclaim, it is immaterial to me, whether I behave well or ill; for virtue itself, is no security. And if such a sentiment as this, should take place in the mind of the subject, there would be an end to all security what so ever.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Speech (1770-12-03/04), Argument for the Defense, Boston Massacre Trial

Innocence: it is one of the most precious resources this planet has, because without it greed and deceit, perversity and hate, craftiness and egoism rule.

And I imagine most of us have experienced the impact of those six working together.

I’m not sure whether the frame here was part of Dobson’s painting, but i love it. Dobson’s paintings were known for the “innocence of the young”, a popular theme in England in the 2nd half of the 18th century.

There’s also a version with just the frame.

Not a big opera fan, but hey this is historic:

Finnish women as composer, librettist, conductor and co-star (folk musician Vilma Jää) at the Met in #NYC

#KaijaSaariaho is only the third female composer featured in nearly 150 years at the #Met (starts around 0:25)

La fascination pousse au ré-équilibre.

Ignorance is not innocence but sin.

Innocent until proven guilty is a legal rule that limits state punishment. It isn’t a claim about reality. Courts decide whether evidence meets a legal threshold, not whether something actually happened. Society, institutions, and individuals are allowed to assess credibility, risk, and patterns independently of court verdicts.

Non-judicial actors are allowed to to form judgments based on incomplete but compelling evidence.
