Gimme a break. Do you think the O.J. Simpson jury could have used a little more education? I do.
Just because the OJ jury was stupid doesn't mean their verdict should be overturned. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I don't think we should try people again and again until they're proven guilty, either.
This article is advocating something just as evil, the overturning of all those convictions because the authors think the convicted are innocent. Anyone backing the authors is doing so purely on the basis of their slanted presentation of the facts here, which may or may not be as they describe, and based on the track record of the paper, is unlikely to be accurate.
