Furthermore, if there is such good evidence that the DA and cops perjured themselves and falsified evidence, and that this other fellow actually committed the crime, when are the trials? Until then it is all just innuendo and speculation.
At this point, it looks like all slates are wiped clean, nobody is in custody and the boys are still dead. Are the guilty walking free? Check. Are the innocent not being punished? Check. The system worked! Drinks all around!!
For some reason they didn’t video this interrogation with a retarded kid.
And for some reason the report taken by the cop at the fast food restaurant about a man coming in with blood all over him was lost. Plus, the cops weren’t even going to tell that but the employees came forward then they had to admit it. Just plain top flight police work, huh. Just wonderful cops who stand for law and order and the American way.
There won’t be a trial because the cops don’t want to admit they framed three kids. I hope the cops get what’s coming to them.
Wanta’ talk about the Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin? The original cop on the case says the cops who took over for him got a false confession. Why did he say that? One, there was no video. Two, this kid used the term “accelerant”. The cop said he knew that’s police lingo that the cops said the kid had said. The DA had to eventually drop the charges because there was no evidence. Only a trumped up confession by crooked cops. They do exist, you know. Oh, wait a minute. Not in your perfect little world.
Finally, I used to be a cop so don’t preach to me about how all cops are straight up guys. Lots of them will break the law to get a conviction. And that’s why I said I “used to be a cop”. I couldn’t stand by and watch it happen. But I also knew that I’d better not cross that thin blue line.
Uh, it's not quite that simple. An innocent spent 17 years on death row, how do you recover that lost time? An innocent spent 17 years on death row, who will hire a convicted murderer?
You fill out a job application that asks the question "have you ever been convicted of a crime", if you answer yes, you're going to have to explain. You won't get the job. If you answer no and are hired and they find out you lied, you're fired.
You're F'ed............
So to address your statement, the innocent will be unjustly punished for the rest of his life...........just as he has been for the last 17 years. The only difference is that he gets to walk the street........
Would falsifying evidence be more serious than losing evidence that could have implicated another person completely and saved three individuals from 17 years of imprisonment?
