And even those who have been convicted may not be guilty after all.<br /><br />And "the push to heighten the burden of proof thresholds" ?? Are you arguing that Texas should <b>lower</b> the burden of proof? Maybe a simple allegation of a crime is "good enough" for you?<br /><br />Try reading the National Registry of Exonerations. Maybe you will learn something.<br />https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspxKarl Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-63383798338969503732018-03-21T15:09:47.253-05:002018-03-21T15:09:47.253-05:00Protected class??????
