Innocent Conviction
Frame an innocent suspect to prevent riots that will kill several.
Scenario
You are the sheriff of a small town. A heinous crime has been committed. The public is convinced of the killer's identity, but you know the suspect is innocent — the real perpetrator escaped and won't be caught. The public is now threatening to riot. You estimate the riots will kill at least 5 innocent people. The only way to prevent the riots is to publicly arrest, prosecute, and convict the (innocent) suspect, who would receive a life sentence. You can fabricate enough evidence that no one will ever doubt their guilt.
Question
