Dallas; You need to quit it.

DALLAS (AP) — A man who contended throughout his 26 years in prison that he never raped a woman who lived five houses down from him was freed Thursday after a judge recommended overturning his conviction.
Charles Chatman, 47, was released on his recognizance as several of his eight siblings cheered. He was freed on the basis of new DNA testing that lawyers say proves his innocence and adds to Dallas County's nationally unmatched number of wrongfully convicted inmates.

Just be glad it isn't China that executes a rumored 7000-8000 a year.

This aint China. It's suppose to be land of the free. Instead what we have is a bunch of prosecutors looking for someone to convict just to close the case.

Instead we have 53 people executed a year.....never said it was perfect by any means but it is far, far better then other options.


Our problem is we have a judiciary built on dollars...not justice.

Same question? Some of my best times were when I lived in Dallas. It should be a model city in terms of growth and development.

Speaking of wrongfully convicted, Nicole and I were watching a show about killers and where they ranked on the "evil scale". There was a guy who was convicted of murdering some little girl and spent 60+ years in jail. Now there is evidence showing he didn't do it and that this girl's murder some umpteen miles away was actually related to the black dhalia murder. The only reason the dude pled guilty was because he was 18 at the time and the cops said if you don't plead guilty, you're getting the chair.

I have no faith in our justice system.

District Attorney Craig Watkins also attributes the exonerations to a past culture of overly aggressive prosecutors seeking convictions at any cost. Watkins has started a program in which law students, supervised by the Innocence Project of Texas, are reviewing about 450 cases in which convicts have requested DNA testing.

it's the lawyers not the city
