That's still a better outcome than people getting convicted just for being on the wrong side of the culture wars.

Failing in the right direction (not locking someone up) is one of the most important characteristics of a justice system.

If the justice system becomes too ineffective, then people will create their own justice "system" (i.e., vigilantism) to replace it. The entire reason for the justice system to exist is to prevent this.
