    have you guys seen "Law abiding citizen"?, there is a good line that perfectly describes law/ courts systems in a America "its not what you know its what you can prove", so the chick picked him good enough for the jury to prove he is guilty plus it was '83 and his is black

    No amount of money could make up for losing 27 years of your life to being wrongfully convicted and put in prison. He definitely has to have some anger issues now, I would think.

    Of course they don't care. Their career depends on their successful conviction rate. Don't forget that prosecutors are lawyers too.
