Our American criminal justice system is totally overwhelmed due to the volume and lack of resources to handle the volume. As a result mistakes although rare can happen. The vast amount of mistakes in the American criminal justice system happen to the VICTIMS of crime not the defendants ,in that due to lack of police resources and adequate training the criminals don't get prosecuted. This problem is not as exciting for a dateline episode and police and prosecutors don't like to talk about it so it doesn't get the media attention.

Everyone in prison is innocent all you have to do is ask them.

Mistakes are understandable. An over-zealous prosecuting attorney coupled with judge AND a (activist) jury nullification is a miscarriage of justice that should result in extreme civil unrest and eventual justice! When a judge and jury ignore the facts in order to make a political statement that clearly violates OUR constitution it is time for decent law abiding Americans to demand not just an appeal but a reversal and recriminations. That trial is an American outrage and the "real" guilty should be punished.
