If you think that being raped excuses committing perjury and sending an innocent man to prison for decades or life, you have a twisted view of right and wrong.<br /><br />They don't ask witnesses in rape trials "do you THINK that this is the man who raped you". In ten different ways they demand to know if this is definitely the perp, are you absolutely sure. She said yes when OBVIOUSLY she could not have honestly said so and sent a man to prison to be raped and beaten as a "rapist" for years and years.<br /><br />Unfortunately we live in a society that values a woman more than a man and creates a justice system guaranteed to deliver on the promise, "Better ten inoocent men go to prison than one guilty male rapist go free".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-51764087422587206382009-04-30T16:31:00.000-05:002009-04-30T16:31:00.000-05:00I hope Mr. Lindsey sues for wrongful conviction an...I hope Mr. Lindsey sues for wrongful conviction and imprisonment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-36264389741481999142009-04-30T11:06:00.000-05:002009-04-30T11:06:00.000-05:00You know, 10:57, you shouldn't blame the crime vic...You know, 10:57, you shouldn't blame the crime victim in these rape exonerations out of Dallas.

It gives stability to a county that has falsely accussed innocent men and it gives confidence to tax payers that we won't be having to keep paying for the incarceration and then the exoneration. I am certain, as I have been following Collin Counties faulty DA, is anyone or any agency going to investigate those judges and the incarcerations for adults and juveniles?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56081137046469341052008-09-19T18:12:00.000-05:002008-09-19T18:12:00.000-05:00Dallas is one of the very few offices who happened...Dallas is one of the very few offices who happened to preserve DNA evidence, plus the current DA is a rational person and lets the chips fall as they may.<BR/><BR/> Rare convergence of evidence and decency in the Texas Justice system.<BR/><BR/> That said, it's certainly true that the previous Dallas DAs bragged about sending innocent people to jail so perhaps the numbers in that jurisdiction are larger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-57356077487501813902008-09-19T15:44:00.000-05:002008-09-19T15:44:00.000-05:00So almost half of the statewide exonerations are f...So almost half of the statewide exonerations are from the Dallas area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-57544756301886965552008-09-19T14:52:00.000-05:002008-09-19T14:52:00.000-05:00Tip of the iceberg.Just imagine the number of fals...Tip of the iceberg.<BR/><BR/>Just imagine the number of false convictions in other categories, especially in cases not needing corroboration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
