re: Does anybody know someone who was wronged by the justice system? #metoo mvmnt

I had a former employee, who had an episode on the Innocence Files on Netflix, who spent 12 years in prison and 8 of those were on death row for a murder he didn't commit.

Does that count?

I’m convinced that there are guys in death row and who have been executed who were guilty of nothing more than having a clumsy wife who fell and hit her head.

It happens much more than people realize. We're taught by the tv that the Justice system is swift and all knowing. That we're innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. All that crap goes out the window in reality. You have people sitting on juries thinking they are getting the truth from the govt in regards to the case. They've seen every law and order episode and know that the cops and D.A. would never lie. They're wrong 100%

Our Justice system is broken. My oldest son goes off to college next year and I've tried to get him prepared to protect himself. But kids are stupid and don't want to listen to their dumb parents. My advice is to try to record everything or never be alone. Everyone has their phone on them 24/7, so if you meet someone you don't know then record some videos showing their 'affection'. I don't necessarily mean sex tapes, but that wouldn't hurt either as long as you are just keeping them as evidence. You can never be too careful.

Same with your trainer friend. Either tape her up in a place with cameras OR in front of everyone else. NOBODY gets private treatments. It's just too risky now. People are getting worse about ruining people's lives with no remorse also.

I need to go back and find it, but there was a study done in a small town in Nebraska? Perhaps back in the 60s?

They followed up on every allegation, a huge proportion were false. I’d like to say half.

The motives were everything from anger, to revenge, jealousy, and even embarrassment.
