Yes, yes, but no real guilty person is not being punished so it doesn't matter. Cause...well...real people matter.
Also, in Christianity can't the guilty person avoid being punished by repenting and turning to Christ?
innocent being punished?...mmm...interesting...i work on the theory that no-one over the age of 2 is innocent...because everyone is guilty of doing something wrong however small...thus people might be getting punishment for something they didn't do...but they did do something worthy of punishment at some point in their lives....so only the level of punishment is debatable
so a guilty person getting away with something is more annoying...especially if they did something to me

seriously though, lets say a guy is a career criminal. one day, lets say in his 40's, he has a revelation about his life. he realizes what he has done, atones for it, and straightens out. he marries, has kids, becomes a productive member of society. one day, he is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to a prison term. is this right? is this karma?

it sure is karma
my point is that punishment is really the only subjective thing in terms of severity...in the UK you get what seems like a couple of years in jail for murdering someone...in the US you may get 40+ years...life...even stuck on death row and then killed by lethal injection...in some countries you get bruatally tortured and strung up by the gonads for far lesser crimes than murder....
hence its the punishment that changes rather than the crime
i still stand by the comment that no-one is innocent throughout their lives...

Let's look at it realistically though. I wouldn't really mind if somebody was fined a low penalty for something they didn't do if they can afford it. At the same point I wouldn't really care if they got away with it either.
Now let's talk about murder, do you think somebody that has never killed anybody in his entire life, didn't even help or whatever should get the death penalty before you let a murderer loose in the streets again?
