A few years ago in NewYork City, a man claimed to be sexually assaulted on deserted subway platforms. He claimed this about 30 different times, consequently, about 30 men were arrested.
He did this all over the city and since the precincts weren't coordinating arrests, it was not noticed that one man was putting in so many complaints.
About 25 of the 30 who were arrested plea-bargained because they were afraid of going to trial.
Luckily for them, a policeman responding to a sexual abuse complaint realized that it was the same man he had responded to once before. This led him to investigate as to whether the man was making up stories and he found all the innocent people and had them exonerated.
Well then what is your guess as to the percentage of "innocent people convicted" to "guilty convicted"? I get a feeling you think the government usually gets it wrong ... that there is a HUGE percentage of innocent people languishing in jail not just a sorry minority.
BTW, during the O.J. trial I met very, very few conservatives who thought OJ was innocent. The only conservatives who did were espousing the same thing I think I'm hearing.
