the state located approximately 800 biological samples of DNA that could be tested. Of those, only 214 were in sufficient condition to yield accurate results. Among these, more than 70 people—one commonly cited figure is 79—appear to have been excluded as the perpetrators of a crime.

.

the reality that of the first 250 people exonerated by DNA testing, a whopping 76 percent were misidentified by eyewitnesses.

What. The. Fucking. Fuck.

I just don't know what to say, that is scary.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. To think that the numbers quoted in this article aren't even due to malice too. They were simply mis-indentified. What happens when you have a large group of women who know how to game the system? Gawd. I tend to think that the upper limit stats on false rape claims are a bit too much, like the 60% claim I have seen a few times, but this does give pause to reconsider.

The ideal of Justice is dead, and it's worse than the government not caring about you. They will actively pressure you into prison and actively silence you to keep you there.

For all intents and purposes, the government hates you.
