I’ve noticed some people get really annoyed by these stories.People need to understand that one of the reasons for putting people in prison is to make an example of them - deterrence. So, it really doesn't matter if the person you send to prison is actually guilty or innocent. It still serves as an example so long as the mistake is never exposed.
It is appeals like this one that cause the damage.

Maybe you should be jailed for twenty years for something you didn't do, you know, just as an example. Or did you leave out a /sarc tag.

Thank you for channeling Voltaire. /sarc>
Would you like to be the next example? It doesn't matter, right?
Cheers!

And you "people need to understand one of the reasons for putting people in prison is to make an example of them - deterrence." He'll be so proud to serve as an example! Isn't tear gas such a great example! It would be a grand idea for tear gas to go take credit for a rape he didn't commit, so long as he "serves as an example!" Well as long as "the mistake is never exposed." So all you rapists out there who have innocent people serving life in prison on your behalf, tear gas gives you a great big "THANK YOU" salute!

Man, I hope there was a (/sarc) in there somewhere...
