I'm not saying that all Law enforcement officers are bad, it's just that 0.001% that give the rest a bad name.......

Year of exonerations: The individuals whose names were cleared in 2022 after being wrongfully convicted

More than 260 people were exonerated in 2022, according to the National Registry of Exonerations

"Never would I have thought I would spend more than half my life in prison, especially for something I didn’t do." 

That is what Darrell Lee Clark said after he was exonerated along with Cain Joshua Storey for the 1996 murder of their friend, 15-year-old Brian Bowling. The pair's innocence came to light after the true crime "Proof Podcast" uncovered evidence that police had coerced a main witness into giving false statements, and prosecutors misrepresented another witness who has hearing and speech impairments.

It starts with cops,yes but judges and public defenders are also supposed to stop questionable or coerced evidence from being heard in the courtroom.

As a society, we have always spent too much effort thinking about the severity of certain crimes, wanting someone, anyone to be punished immediately, and not enough attention to the quality of evidence pointing to any particular suspect.
