"oh yeah, turns out you were falsely imprisoned and had literally everything taken from you.... too bad, we are not paying you back for that
yeah if you dig deep enough, there's plenty of injustice to be found
false convictions overturned via DNA, etc
its innocent until proven guilty. And if found guilty, you are always guilty even if found not guilty later. you are still guilty
is it wrong, yes, can it be improved, yes, can it be eliminated? probably not
maybe the jurors should pay ;P
also, for profit prisons are a thing
the person making the mistake should be the one paying
well, technically it may not have been a mistake. There may just have been enough evidence to be found guilty, but not enough to show the opposite
I dunno if you could narrow it to a person... theres the arresting police, the evidence gatherers, the prosecution making a case, the jurors etc etc
beyond a reasonable doubt is a tricky thing
I mean wtf is that
its uncalculatable
so yeah, mistakes happen
(always talking US court and laws here people, just FYI)
yeah thats why we had to let the woman go on my case... because the other jurors didnt understand the reasonable doubt thing
fine, the person responsible,
False accusations, the accuser
DNA mistake, the biologist testing it
wrong conviction, the Juror's/judge
and the judge even told them, you should take alll circumstantial evidence into consideration... and some of them were still saying, yeah but its circumstantial...
well and some stuff like finger prints are not actually all that good
but we still use them
this woman... was caught red handed in london heathrow airport, with a suitcase containing 3KG of uncut cocaine.. and still walked 😛
hmm I guess it is
"Circumstantial evidence is generally admissible in court unless the connection between the fact and the inference is too weak to be of help in deciding the case. Many convictions for various crimes have rested largely on circumstantial evidence."
regardless, the point is sometimes its not anyone's direct fault, or so many people's fault, that its not a good standard. At the end of the day, whoever funds the prison and/or the court system that put them there should pay for false imprisonment.
@LotheronPrime that is basically say if it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck, thats good enough reason to call it a duck even if you don't have DNA proof.
right
yeah you would think catching her with her suitcase going through customs would be enough circumstantial...
starting to get a bit conspiratorial..
but worth a look if true
in either case, I REALLY think he should have had enough time to mount a defense.. I don't agree with a single day charge, verdict, sentencing without being able to contact a solicitor.
especially if he was given a public defender..
dave cullen was saying he had permission from the police to film... interesting if true
I read that too that he asked forgot to bring that up
Fucked up if true
if it is true, I would put that down to left hand not talking to the right, rather than malice... but he could certainly use it to get out if true
That does change things.
some people claim
small result though so maybe true/maybe not
