We grew up thinking that if someone who is innocent is accused, a committed judge, or prosecutor, or investigator would see to it that justice was done. They were supposed to be on the side of justice, not on the side of whoever claimed they were hurt.

It's a real shame that many of us no longer have faith in prosecutors and judges to do the right thing.

I know. It's very unfortunate.

About 24 years ago, some former CIA guy was prosecuted in Houston in federal court, and sent away for a long time. I can't remember his name, but the initials JW come to mind.

Some time a few years ago, it turns out he was right all along, and the prosecutors literally framed him and knew it. That really caused me to have doubts, because I remember that trial.
