This Just Makes Me Sick

http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/11/07/DN....ap/index.html

This guy, due to be released in January after serving 20 years for rape, has been exonerated through DNA evidence. No wonder prosecutors work so hard to keep old cases from being re-examined. We'd all lose whatever shred of respect we have left for the justice system if we knew how frequently we put innocent people in prison and sentence them to death.

What's particularly heartbreaking about this case (and inspiring at the same time) is that he could have been out on parole much sooner had he played their game and apologized for a crime he didn't commit. His quest to preserve a modicum of self-respect probably cost him quite a few years in prison.

What would you have done in his shoes.
