Impossible. Every FReeper knows that in our system of justice the innocent are always exonerated and the convictions are always immaculate.
I think of those here who suggest they should have just shot the guy immediately upon conviction.

He’s probably guilty of something else. Hang him.

It is more than a tragedy when an innocent is convicted. It is a travesty when a guilty escapes conviction. No system is perfect. Look at that scumbag Nifong.

You won't have to think of them long, because I'm sure they'll be along shortly...

Society has an obligation to base justice on all and best evidence available at the time. It’s not clear if that happened here or not. Ten years ago DNA was used. Why not here?
Civilized societies also have a moral duty to execute those among us who prey on innocent women and children. On this point we fail the civilized test. The methods we use to punish these kinds of criminals are barbaric, and constitute a cruel punishment on the victims and the rest of society.
