Post by shattered hologramI've been thinking how many good innocent people may be life
sentenced in the maximum security prisons and Death Rows.
Ever read of The Innocence Project in America? Good org. Here in Canada Steven Truscott was falsely convicted of murder in Ont. Just Google ppl falsely convicted of murder in Canada or the U.S. or Great Britain. The Sins Of The Father movie is a true story of a hash head car thief and his Dad falsely convicted of killing ppl in a bombing in Manchester, England they were framed by the police. Reuben "Hurricane" Carter and his buddy were convicted of killing ppl in a bar in Patterson, NJ Bob Dylan wrote a hit song about it in 1974. They were eventually exonerated books and movies made.
Post by shattered hologramForensic evidence is so easily framed and/or planted.
Not quite its more by omission.
Post by shattered hologramFor example, anyone with powerful enough enemies who had even
given blood to donation or a blood test could and still be accused
of murder if his blood is placed at the scene of the crime.
Hmmm that would be quite a stretch what if they had an alibi?
Post by shattered hologramThe same with DNA from hairs that can be easily collected in a bar
or place when one works or city traffic ...
Yes but there are procedures for collecting evidence.

True but.......
Post by shattered hologramDeuteronomy 17:6 NIV
On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death,
but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.
We have all sorts of other evidence now.
Post by shattered hologramDeuteronomy 17:6 KJV
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy
of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be
put to death.

David Milgaard Case
David Milgaard was a 16-year-old hippie when he was charged with the rape and murder of Saskatoon nurse Gail Miller in 1969. Milgaard's prosecution for first degree murder at age 17 became one of Canada's most notorious wrongful convictions. He was finally released in 1992 after 23 years in prison. DNA evidence exonerated him in 1997 and led to the conviction of Larry Fisher, a serial sex offender, in 1999. Milgaard received an official apology from the Saskatchewan government in 1997 and a $10 million settlement in 1999. Milgaard became an advocate for prison reform and the rights of the accused and helped establish a federal commission to investigate cases of alleged wrongful conviction.

Donald Marshall Jr
Donald Marshall Jr., Mi'kmaq leader, Indigenous activist, wrongly convicted of murder (born 13 September 1953 in Sydney, NS; died 6 August 2009 in Sydney, NS). Donald Marshall’s imprisonment (1971–82) became one of the most controversial cases in the history of Canada's criminal justice system. He was the first high-profile victim of a wrongful murder conviction to have it overturned, paving the way for others such as David Milgaard and Guy Paul Morin. In the 1990s, Marshall was also the central figure in a significant Supreme Court of Canada case on First Nations hunting and fishing rights.

Guy Paul Morin Case
The Guy Paul Morin case was the second major wrongful conviction case to occur in the modern era of the Canadian criminal justice system. The case was riddled with official errors — from inaccurate eyewitness testimony and police tunnel vision, to scientific bungling and the suppression of evidence. Morin had been acquitted of the murder of nine-year-old Christine Jessop in 1986, only to be found guilty at a retrial in 1992. He was cleared by DNA evidence in 1995 and received $1.25 million in compensation. In 2020, DNA evidence identified Calvin Hoover, a Jessop family friend who died in 2015, as the real killer.This article contains sensitive material that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Notable Wrongful Convictions in Canada
Canadians like to think our justice system is one of the best in the world. But ask the dozens of people prosecuted and imprisoned for serious crimes they didn't commit, and you're likely to get a different view, especially from those accused of murder. In recent decades, more than 20 Canadians have been locked up — much of their lives destroyed — for murders they had nothing to do with. Their wrongful convictions are a stain on our history, while their subsequent exonerations give cause for hope. Here are six of their stories. (See also Wrongful Convictions in Canada.)
