These men were exonerated through DNA testing. But not before they spent years in prison for crimes they didnt commit.

  • @retrospect1983 It is not possible to have a perfect system. On rare occasions some innocent people are going to be convicted and even executed. I'm alright with that. If you want to run wild in the streets committing crimes don't be surprised when the police come looking for you about crimes you may not have even committed. And no, as long as due process was served and a good faith effort was given in establishing guilt then nothing should happen to the people who prosecuted the case.

  • @flaksb since you can only say "virtually all" meaning some are exonerated... so what should happen to those involved with the wrongful prosecution of an exonerated man.... equal sentence unless they can prove otherwise, life in prison if they knew their actions would lead to a life conviction or even death if they knew it could be a death sentence for the accused ? seems fair to maintain eye for an eye across the board., and it work both ways. maybe it would cut down on false testimony

  • All of these scrubs have spent years on the streets by not getting caught for crimes they DID commit. You should take a look at their records. Texas now has a policy of manadatory testing when DNA evidence is available. Here is another fact. Virtually all condemned criminals attempt to avoid bringing DNA evidence into their cases except as a last resort when all other angles have been exhausted. Why? Because it almost always proves their guilt.

  • @MrCross555 amen brotha... they have high murder rates... death penalty is not a deterrant

  • murder evidence is supposed to be kept, indefinitely.

  • @Andreas748

    I would send eye witnesses to death row because oftentimes they are not sure but say they are, or they downright perjure themselves just for kicks, or because they don't like the defendant.

  • just they should rely less on eye witness testimony and circumstantial evidence.

    Only DNA evidence should have weight, because it's virtually irrefutable. If you dont have dna evidence, you shouldnt convict.

  • this is not just in texas, this is in every county in the US. OUr legal system is run by shysters and the decisions made by morons that shysters bullsh*t.

  • @monmunrev123 I understand that there were alot of black people but they were not all black. Racism is still on the loose.

  • Texas justice system stinks!
