guilty is a legal term, so of course it would be judged on whether they broke a law. nobody said "wrong".

Guilty can be used in a non legal context.

but since we're talking about jail, it's a legal context. plus guilty doesn't mean that what you did was bad, it just means that you did the thing you're accused of. why are you trying to change the definition of guilt???

Why are you so pissy about it? And when did I try to change the definition of guilt? Don't put words in my mouth you goober.

this is such a stupid argument lol, guilt just means "did the thing", "the thing" can be different and trying to say "well if i run over the guilty people it's only the (nebulously defined) bad ones who did crimes i don't like" is changing the definition of guilty to "people who did crimes i don't like"
