How low of a human being must you be to claim evidence has been destroyed when it hasn’t. The cop who told that under oath should be fired and put in jail, like anyone else would.

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”

Prosecutors are measured by convictions, regardless of whether they get it right.

The use of metrics to judge competency has always been a shell game.

The fact that the state can just wrongly keep someone in prison for over a quarter of a lifetime really makes me doubt the carceral system as a whole.

The second season of making a murderer illustrates this to a painful degree. Multiple federal judges dismissed the kids confession as coerced but the state just flat refused to admit they’re wrong and let him out until a judge forced his release a couple months ago…after spending half his life behind bars for something he didn’t do.

Cases like these illustrate why the death penalty is such a terrible idea. The process itself is imperfect, and in some places filled with bad actors looking to close cases quickly while maximizing sentences.

Prosecution rates > actual human lives

It’s the problem with conflict-based justice systems that seek victory instead of the truth. Being wrong is irrelevant to winning.

Prosecutors are pushing back against Jamerson’s efforts. Dubbs described the rape as only taking place for a matter of minutes and never testified the assailant ejaculated, so the sample not belonging to Jamerson doesn’t exclude him from being the rapist, they say. Prosecutors also argue Dubbs’ alleged identification of Jamerson as her attacker in 1991 is still evidence of guilt.

I don’t understand this.
