Irredeemably broken

[yendi]

In case you somehow thought that the justice system wasn't broken, go read about James Bain. Thirty-five years in jail -- likely more than a few of them under the worst possible circumstances, in light of the crime he was falsely accused of -- and constant refusals to even look at the evidence exonerating him. Just unbelievable.

That's because the rudimentary DNA evidence of the time showed that he was Black beyond a reasonable doubt.

Of all the reasons for or against the death penalty, this is the one that keeps me firmly on the "con" side of that argument.

You say it's broken, I ask did it ever really work to start with?
