Lesley Stahl reports on flaws in eyewitness testimony that are at the heart of the DNA exonerations of falsely convicted people like Ronald Cotton, who has now forgiven his accuser, Jennifer Thompson.
As an ex-offender, it amazes me how people continue to place so much weight on DNA evidence. If a woman confidently identifies a man as her attacker- but the rapist pours the sperm from another man's condom at the crime scene- everybody ASSumes he was not at the scene of the crime simply because the DNA is not his. Wow!
How many convicts do you think conned their way out of jail based on DNA assumptions?
It's amazing to me that a tremendously moving story about a woman who is devastated to learn she sent the wrong man to jail, and about a man who is able to overcome false imprisonment to recognize the woman's sincere sorrow, inspires such ignorant and repugnant comments.
I want this video on my GX25/GZ200 phone.
