Could 'actual innocence' save the broken US justice system? - BBC News
(bbc.com)
This article honestly reads like an Onion parody:
“So many cases had been overturned where young men had been sitting in jail for years and years before someone got around to vetting the prosecution,” he recalls. “It occurred to me - why are we doing that at the end? Why don’t we have a procedure in place on the front end to vet prosecutions before they can become a conviction?”
Yes, why not try not imprisoning people who are “actually innocent”, what an absolutely novel concept.
Jesus
Things like this are why privatizing the courts is starting to sound like a far better idea than one would naively expect. I don’t think the Black Panthers could do much worse than the existing system.
