Wrongful Convictions Are Real

Studies estimated that between 4 to 6 %.  In terms of real numbers meaning that an estimated 1 in 20 criminal cases result in a wrongful conviction.  With almost two million people in our jails and prisons that mean TENS OF THOUSANDS INCARCERATED PEOPLE WERE WRONGFULLY CONVICTED.

Texas alone led the nation with 363 exonerations in the last 30 years

The National Registry of Exonerations keeps records of over 2000 cases across the country that ended in exoneration for the defendant found that three crimes are most commonly involved in exoneration cases

Fifteen people  and growing  in KY  have spent more than 200 years imprisoned for crimes we did not commit, but we still have not received a dime from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These miscarriages of justice have taken years off our lives that we can never get back. The least the state could do is compensate us for these losses. As a tax paying citizen, I’m deeply frustrated at how much time and energy, and my own money, I’ve had to spend fighting for what  the justice system did to me. 

 

4.1% of people currently on death row are likely to be innocent according to the National Academy of Science

 

Four out of 100 people on death row who were sentenced to death are inncoent. ONLY TWO OF THOSE ARE EXONERATED.

 

Everything is our opinion only/ we are not lawyers / we are Freedom FIGHTERS.
