Wrongful Conviction

There are currently thousands of people locked up in prison for sh*t they didn't do.

    Please read about another wrongful conviction at FREEPAULCORTEZ.ORG. The thing that really sucks is that our justice system is not based on justice but conviction at all costs. When will people demand that the right thing is done to avoid wrongful convictions by saving evidence and by using all tools available like DNA! What would be the reason for not??? Everyone should understand they are vulnerable to being wrongly accused with possible conviction to follow unless you have endless funds to defend yourself. Get involved while it is a principle rather than reality.

    Good advice. Any family can suffer from wrongful conviction. I'm a retired military pilot, former FBI member, current English prof. My wife is a therapist who works with children suffering from severe emotional problems, and our daughter is a physician. Still, our son became a victim of an unethical prosecution that convicted him of a murder he did not commit. Our story is at http://bearingfalsewitness.com
