Ah for fucks... Okay, new approach: how do you know that? This is one of the most notoriously impenetrable fields humanity has developed, it's really important you be aware of where you're drawing your information from. Have your sources gone into pretrial disclosure, standards for evidence, chain of custody? Or are you drawing the incredibly reasonable conclusion (but in this case, inaccurate in the specifics) that the courts are terrible based off their portrayal in popular media, the news, man-on-the-street, everyone that's interacted with it, etc?

Again, that's pretty damn reasonable, even the idealized representations of the system are garbage. But I'm litigating this point (~~I'm sorry for that one~~) because it's really difficult to improve the system if we focus on the easy conclusions and think that those are what needs addressing, instead of the hard problems for which there is no easy answer. This is one of those situations.

Look through the innocence project case files.

Then I don't why you'd be out here contradicting them.

Contradicting them how? I could take a truly wild guess, but I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding somewhere in here and I'm not sure exactly where it is.
