I always get nervous when I read that a jury put a person away in jail for a long (or very long) time based on a TOTALLY UNFAIR decision.
There is a LOT MORE that I’d want to know about this case before concluding this law should be scrapped and I’m only hearing ONE SIDE here.
That appears to be the case here. I'd like to hear the prosecutors side. And since this is an article from some scribbler writing for The Nation, maybe the most leftist media source in the country with a great desire to dismantle the justice system and free most prison inmates, I take it with a large grain of salt.
