Confessing to a murder you didn’t commit seems like it could cause you some trouble.
DNA cannot prove innocence, it can only prove guilt.These men who admitted doing it could have still done it, but just did not leave DNA behind, same as not leaving finger prints.
Disgusting. The prosecutor ought to be disbarred. It is fundamental to our system of criminal justice that a person cannot be convicted on the basis of a confession alone. I hope those who coerced the confessions are burning in hell. And I demand God explain why these men had to sit in prison wrongfully for so long.
the crime itself certainly calls for it. too bad they got the wrong guys.
Unfortunately the US system of justice incentivizes police to close cases and prosecutors to obtain convictions. That’s how officers become detectives and how prosecutors become politicians or judges.
The idea to ensure they have the right guy is secondary.
