Noooo! The hacks are the headline-hunting prosecutors and (sometimes) cops! They are the ones screwing up our justice system, and when they screw up, they blame the poor juries.
The OJ trial is a good example. Marsha Clark probably thought she was on the way to be governor. But, she was a hack who got outclassed by real lawyers. And the poor jury got the blame. Same thing happened in the Rodney King trial.
The death penalty is constitutional. But, I trust no government agent to do the right thing. The figures you cite are the PROVEN exonerations. How many more have been missed?
I believe your response got buried in my pings. Sorry about the delay.
No, those are not rock solid exonerations.
Even if these were DNA exonerations, DNA can also be problematic.
The 18 people you listed here may not all be innocent. Once a trial is over, the evidence, the witnesses, and the people involved in the case disburse. Who advocates for the dead person then?
You have the myriad of Liberal agencies running this way and that like termites in an older building, ripping it apart piece by piece.
The body parts of children and adults have long since turned to dust, and now the enemies of our system of justice, are fast at work unraveling.
Some of these people may be innocent. Some of them are probably as guilty as can be.
You want to think you're doing the Lord's work. Frankly you may be to a certain extent. And yet for every mistake done here where a guy gets off who should have been fried, whose work are you doing then?
