Note To Self: Don't voluntarily give evidence or samples to law enforcement simply because you're innocent and "have nothing to hide." 😂

A teenage boy was wrongfully convicted of and spent 4 years in prison before being exonerated. After he voluntarily agreed to a blood sample collection to enable do a DNA analysis because he knew he was innocent and wasn't even at the crime scene.
Turns out the lab seriously fucked up the handling of DNA samples assigned to them and gave a false match to samples from the crime scene.

Evidence is vulnerable to human errors and biases in practically every step of its handling - From collection at the crime scene, Lab handling, interpretation by the experts or even from faulty collection equipment outside the control of law enforcement.

Raymond Burr was gay.

Erle Stanley Gardner didn't care.

Gardner was a lawyer originally, and founded the Court of Last Resort, first of several organizations that advocate for the wrongly convicted, which among others include The , Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, and Centurion.

It took 28 years (15 years after the proof of innocence arose) for Missouri to overturn a man’s wrongful conviction.

This is what the prosecutor wrote: “Our office defended the rule of law and worked to uphold the original verdict that a jury of Johnson’s peers deemed to be appropriate based on the facts presented at trial,” the Republican-led office said.

There is no defense of their inhumanity.

@josephthomas that's nearly my entire argument against the death penalty; who is punished when the government kills an innocent person? If the answer is "nobody" then the system is hypocritical and wrong. Done.

You know who should be in jail? The shitty, lazy, who put two innocent men behind bars for 25 years based on a "gut feeling."
