That happens more often than not, even when the accused has done nothing to warrant an arrest.
Many people don’t have the means to fight the state and will often agree to take a plea because of their inability to fight, because they are up against a prosecutor with an unlimited ability to prosecute.
It's easy to sit here two decades later and blame the police and the prosecutor's office, but how about the twelve jurors in the case? CNN should go track them down and get their side of the story, too.
I agree. And there are a lot of prosecutors who knowingly send people to prison or, even worse, to death row. When it’s proven that the prosectution and/or the police are guilty of mis-conduct in covicting an innocent man, they should be sentenced to the exact same sentence the innocent man got.
