Forwarded from the Innocence Project, the Death Penalty Information Center and the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty: From Thursday the Governor of the State of Oklahoma Kevin Stitt Commuted the Capital Punishment Sentence of Julius Darius Jones and Re-Sentenced him to Life for Homicide in the First Degree. https://www.justiceforjuliusjones.com/

The Justice Statistics in both Canada and in the United States show that Drug Offenders Re-Offend at 80% and Higher and that both Homicide Offenders and Sex Offenders Collectively Together Re-Offend at 5% and Lower. Plus according to Statistics from the Innocence Project 90% of all Sex Crimes Cases and 85% of all Homicide Crimes Cases Lack the Physical Forensic Evidence for Adequate and Proper Prosecution because of the Very Low Forensic Standards for Violent Crimes in North America Hence the Very High Rate of Wrongful Convictions among those Accused, Prosecuted and Convicted of both Homicide Crimes and Sex Crimes Collectively Together.

That is a good idea. As a matter of fact Kansas did pass legislation a few years ago stating the amount of compensation that should be awarded to individuals that had been wrongly incarcerated. It was done in response to a person who spent 20 some years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Similar legislation should be passed on a federal level. It could be done.
The problem is only a very small fraction of those wrongly convicted are able to come up with the legal backing and proof to overturn a conviction.

Is it fixable? I am not so sure since whatever oversight is created is as corruptible as that which is being overseen.

In addition, manufactured evidence injected into a case, to show guilt or show nefarious activity. Injected by proscutor, FBI or the like.

As an example the Sheriff injected a picture of the sheriffs adult partner, when that partner was a child. Yeag it happens all the time.
My FDLE flyer says the “victum” was a underage child when in actuality, it was an adult officer.

When will the truth come out that all police and deputies are not without agendas.

Additionally, they should also be personally held financially responsible for their actions while also being professionally held responsible through their office. However, I am not sure how one can go about suing those involved directly without including their office jobs but can say Qualified Immunity was not a precedent then in this particular situation by SCOTUS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_immunity).

Given some are surely dead from this time, it may be hard to recoup financially personally from them, but certainly could professionally through their employers.

Given Brady violations were only around 2 years old due to SCOTUS precedent (Brady v. Maryland (1963) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_v._Maryland) at the time of the assassination, the violation of one’s civil rights at the time should be worth a large civil case today with a huge financial windfall for the estates. Sadly, it’d never return the years spent in the can or other personal losses suffered while being wrongly noted in books across the country and around the world as the ones who assassinated someone trying to make a difference in society.

The Manhattan DA only illustrates what is wrong with the legal system, not a justice system, today in trying to appease voters and those pressuring them to do what they want from the system, not what needs to happen in our nation’s adversarial legal system.
