We've had more than our share of inmates wrongfully incarcerated for capital crimes. Many taken off of Death Row and released. What real life can these people have now? Realistically, nobody will hire them. They will always be looked upon with suspicion. In effect, their life has already been extinguished. Even worse, there is a limit to what these people can seek in damages. | Didn't Illinois Governor Ryan commute all the Death Sentences awhile back? And didn't those that were fpund to be innocent, and released, get huge sums of money in their law suits against the state? I'm going from memory here but I think this is accuarate.
As for the OP: If asswhipes still commit heneous crimes, when the law is in affect, then it doesn't work.
