The only way to get the police departments' and AGs' attention is to hit them in their pocketbook for each wrongful conviction. The money paid for wrongful convictions should come directly out of their annual budget.

All this will do is increase the doling out of minor infraction citations to cover the cost (speeding tickets, littering, j-walking, etc.)

i couldn't live with myself if i did this by accident, nonetheless on purpose to a guy.
I couldn't either. Knowing I took 1/3 of somebodies life away from them that didn't deserve it would haunt me.

It was an exaggeration...but one cannot play off an insult by calling it an exaggeration.

Asked about his plans, he said: "I'm going to go eat dinner with my mother and my family, and I'm going to live the rest of my life."
Was anyone else disappointed he didn't say "I'm going to Disney World!"?

Saw a stat yesterday that the city of Chicago has paid out $500M in settlements for police wrongdoing, etc.
Since 2004.
2004
$50M per year
Chicago pays an average of $35k PER COP in settlements and legal bills PER YEAR.
In 2011, NYC paid $185M to settle claims against their police department.
Holy fricking shite if true. Guess we know where the $20+Billion in tobacco excise tax revenue NY receives annually is going.

If this is true, I'm of the opinion that the cops involved should do some serious time. I'm not talking about a situation where a decent cop screws up an investigation, or if circumstantial evidence just points to the wrong guy... But if they knowingly withheld evidence in order to pin a crime on an innocent man, they should do 25 years too.
Since the evidence was time-stamped and dated, it would seem that the arresting cops performed their job well. It would have to have been the prosecution staff that suppressed the evidence. A an upwardly-motivated DA perhaps?

The cops should have eliminated him as a suspect, but their "mistake" was compounded by the DA.
