Rudey, I absolutely agree with you. A while back on the "Damasa you started it thread" I posted a link to a series of Chicago Tribune articles on the failure of the death penalty in Illinois alone. I was shocked and horrified by what I read, but now that I work in criminal law I can't say I have a hard time believing any of it, especially the stuff about police and prosecutor misconduct. I'd repost the link here, but honestly I'm too lazy right now to find it.
And to anyone who thinks that jail is a country club, I extend to you the invitation to come with me to county jail when I go there to visit my clients. You might not be able to see all of it, but my clients can tell you what it's like being in there -- and these are guys charged with relatively minor crimes, who have not even been convicted yet (and maybe never will be).
