Also, what KappaStargirl said is very correct . . . they just released a man after 20 years in jail for rape . . . because the DNA evidence said it wasn't him!!!

How do you give a man back 20 years? Damn, I could barely handle being grounded for a weekend.

ASSUMING THEY HAVE THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY COMMITTED THE CRIME IMPRISONED.


Being from Illinois and a reader of the Chicago Tribune, this has been a concern of mine for years. More and more men accused of capital crimes are being set free because DNA evidence is showing that they are innocent. If you committed the crime, then you should pay for it, but it frightens me to think of the number of people who were innocent yet put to death. Illinois and Florida I believe are the worst offenders in this category, they have released the highest numbers of innocent men from prison.
