catching12, Great response to this post! Yes indeed its scary! Its truly amazing since DNA testing has come into play how often we hear on the news that someone who is behind bars is proved not guilty. IMO I believe there are many many people in prison that are wrongly convicted. Its sad that our legal system (of which many people feel is the best in the world) is so corrupt and can be so wrong in so many cases IMO. We not only need to exhaust all efforts to prove guilt but also to prove innocence. Of course all are supposed to be considered innocent in our society unless proved guilty but it doesn't really work that way IMO.
