I’m saying that some ex-convicts could well try to game the system.


Yep some may try. That just means the states and DAs/prosecution needs to be ever mindful of suddenly appearing proof of innocence. But that doesn’t delete the need to try and free those wrongly incarcerated with some type compensation for the erroneous incarceration.

Then make the law only apply to wrongful convictions prior to the law being enacted. Don’t create a future situation ripe to be gamed.

And where is the incentive for the prosecutors not to wrongfully convict in all this?

Prosecutors are the primary source of the problem. Let them have some accountability and future problems of this sort will be reduced.

It is the same DAs/prosecution that is wrongfully convicting people. The problem begins there to start with.
