Welcome to America! Where the innocent and poor spend thirty years in jail and the rich and guilty walk freely.

If a poor person commits a crime, they're a dirty scumbag criminal. If a rich person commits a crime, they "made a mistake."

Only after 3 years of 'What evidence do they REALLY have though' do they admit there was a mistake

And the prosecutor's office will never admit they were wrong even though the people involved in the original conviction have likely moved on to other jobs. Those prosecutors are absolute scum. And it's not even the first post about a prosecutor's office that pushed to convict innocent people. There's another post about a dirty cop who planted evidence on over 100 people and the prosecutor's office protected him for years until one new prosecutor decided that they didn't want to convict innocent people.

All they care about is getting convictions, not justice.
