Post conviction relief is alot more difficult than you would imagine. Layman always seem to believe that the system is riddled with loopholes that allow people to get off. Then when its their brother or son or husband facing conviction, they are furious that a loophole is not available. It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.
The Innocence Project is not what you think. ALL of the 164 exonerations were cases were DNA evidence proved conclusively that there was an innocent man behind bars. Read up on this group, they are worth ten minutes of your time to see some good in the world.
