    god bless america.
    a jury convicts a man TWICE, despite having no evidence against him, exept the say so of two criminals, inprisons him for half his life, then sells us the story of how he's trying to rebuild whats left of his time on earth.

    :lol: You make it seems like it only happens in America. It happens everywhere and there have been so many cases of people wrongfully executed.
    I remember this one story where after years and years of trying to prove his innocence a man finally gave up. It was his execution day and he could have pushed it back and had a chance to prove his innocence but he couldn't take it anymore. He was executed and a few years later his family proved his innocence.

    it does happen everywhere, its just more frightening when it happens in country's that have the death penalty (like america)
    once a man is executed, there's no second chances, but thats another subject alltogether.

    Where there is a prison system there will always be a innocent man behind bars. There have been many cases where people die(old age, murdered ...) in prisons but were actually innocent. And its not like the whole America has the death penalty. Different states, different rules (same **** non the less).
