What can be done about it?


Reduce the number of criminal laws.

Reduce the penalties for violating criminal laws (especially non-violent ones).

Re-urge a more expansive reading of our 4th Amendment rights.

Fund Public Defenders Offices to match prosecutorial funding.

Permit personal liability for tortious actions of LEO/prosecutors.

Permit more expansive criminal liability for criminal violations by LEO/prosecutors.

Restrict government overreach in their abilities/powers to investigate crimes and accumulate documents/evidence.

Permit a more expansive system of pre-trial release and monitoring while eliminating obstacles like cash bail.

Somehow change how our citizens see these cases conceptually in order to reinstitute an actual judgment by criminal standards (very few juries actually hold the prosecution to beyond a reasonable doubt)

It's hilarious that for DECADES Republicans ran on the polar opposite of every single one of those issues

But, but, but ...

... we already already have that remedy.

quote:

Michael Morton was convicted of murder in 1987, spent over 24 years in prison, and exonerated through DNA and withholding of evidence in 2011 with help from the Innocence Project. In 2013 his prosecutor was convicted of withholding evidence, agreed to disbarment, and spent 4 days in jail.
Disbarred AND jailed, just like Mike Nifong.
