請問寧枉毋縱翻譯成英文應該點講比較好？

My translation is as follows:

Get rid of the suspects even at the expense of the innocent.

As the phrase 寧枉毋縱 can refer to all kinds of situation, I am trying to generalize the phrase.

Rather wrong the innocent than let the guilty go.

My version would refer to the following structure.
Rather XXXX than YYYY.
as "Rather late than never."

Rather wrong than connive. (verb)
Rather wrong than overly lenient. (adjective)

A hindrance than let an "accused"person off.
Hindrance than let.
