The System is BROKE !
From CBS News comes this tale of terror. Stark, un-mitigated terror brought on by a broken system. The story begins thusly
Alton Logan doesn’t understand why two lawyers with proof he didn’t commit murder were legally prevented from helping him. They had their reasons: To save Logan, they would have had to break the cardinal rule of attorney-client privilege to reveal their own client had committed the crime. But Logan had 26 years in prison to try to understand why he was convicted for a crime he didn’t commit.
A way must be made to allow a communication with the court in cases when “beyond-a-doubt-evidence-exists” to stop a wrong of this magnitude from occurring.
We have far too many innocent people that are convicted because of prosecutorial misconduct, incompetent defense attorney, witnesses who lie (including police officers who lie), juries who are manipulated and biased judges.
Though admittedly infrequent, this is one wrong that can be gotten out of the system.
