A friend sends the following:

Jonah, my wife and I caught the exact same ad last night. 2 Logical fallacies in 3 sentences: 1) “Every year 10,000 innocent people are arrested and sent to jail for crimes they didn’t commit” (Dubious) 2) “That’s 10,000 real murderers going free” (Logical Fallacy #1, that all false convictions are in murder trials) 3) “And that’s 10,000 reasons I’m going to fight for my client.” (Logical Fallacy #2: Some innocent prople are wrongly convicted, therefore my clients are innocent). Isn’t law school supposed to strengthen logical reasoning? And that’s leaving alone the ridiculous idea that 10,000 people could be falsely convicted for 16,000 murders annually. Sadly, some people will take that for fact.
