I don't know what qualifies as a hot take but I watch a lot of courtroom stuff and it always gets me that after sentencing people to life in prison we still fee them to death. It just feels petty.
I also would like a new verdict possibility. Innocent. Cops like to point out that not getting convicted does not mean innocent. If there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is innocent then not guilty isn't enough. Then it should be made illegal to discriminate against a person based off an innocent verdict. For example, if you get arrested for shoplifting and at your court hearing you prove your innocence with a receipt your employer should not be able to hold missing a week of work sitting in jail for a crime you did not commit.
