I personally believe that punishing the innocent is the worst that you can do. But at the same time, I also think that allowing the guilty to go free, whatever the circumstances, only encourages them to carry on doing whatever it is they did, and perhaps go a few steps further.
Conversely, It could very well scare them into living out the rest of their lives decently. But I tend towards punishing innocents as being worse...
