I guess what I am not agreeing with is that you specifically indicated the police department. Their 'mistakes' were not in the pursuit of truth but to fit their perception of reality. If procedural errors occur (esp on the prosecution or police), trials can be thrown out, even if the person is guilty as sin; often times the cases aren't retried and guilty people are walking the streets. How many times have we seen folks who are up their elbows in stuff but were never convicted?
In the meantime, we have people on death row whose cases were tried 'by the book' and whose appeals were repeatedly denied only to find out that they were innocent the entire time.
