Generally it also takes a corrupt DA if there is no corroborating evidence.
If laws are automatically bad because fraudulent convictions are a possibility then all laws are a “baaaad idea”.
I will go for rule of law over anarchy, and work to root out corruption over living in the law of the jungle.

No, it’s not the law people are talking about, it’s the punishment. A lesser punishment can be reversed if the conviction is false, but the death penalty is permanent. That’s why a lot of people are wary of instituting it for offenses where false accusations are fairly common and the evidence is often lacking.
