More government corruption.

Saw this poor specimen on O'Reilly tonight. The lights are on but no one's home. If he hadn't been in jail he should have spent the time in an institution getting the help he so clearly needs.
In systems and processes created by the hand and mind of man, mistakes, and the ability to make them, will always be part of the equation. If we waited for perfection, Abel's murder would be Numero Uno in the old Cold Case File.

I can't lose any sleep over this case. If you sign a confession, you deserve to go to prison.

I'd be interested to see the nature of this DNA evidence. The finding of DNA from another individual doesn't rule out the possible (uncaptured) existence of this guy's DNA at the scene, as well.

"The question you need to ask in these cases is: Did the suspect produce anything in that statement that the cops didn't already know? If not, you have to wonder."

This is a compelling statement.

It is my opinion that any man or woman can be broken when in custody and will sign false confessions, assuming the state is so inclined, evil and corrupt to do so.

I saw bits and pieces of this story last night on TV. Too bad it gets only 5 minutes air time.

DNA....God's signature. Nice definition.

Some people, including the judge who was the prosecutor, should go to jail over this.

I just hope that--as often the case with scientific theories--twenty years from now, we don't hear that DNA testing was inaccurate and as a result many guilty criminals were mistakenly set free.

Most distressing read.
