from the lack of response, i would have to think that not many if anyone on this board cares about false convictions

what if it were you or a friend or relative

the price of justice needs to be that the occasional guilty person goes free, not the occasional innocent person gets convicted and sometimes executed

2000 is a rather small sample size, which cannot possibly be extrapolated to infer anything about the larger public.

I asked Don the same question:
Now that you've had the time to bitch and moan, what is your solution?
