Ah American justice. I guess there wasn't much a person could do thirty years ago when DNA was not used in a trails for evidence. A man who has been in jail for thirty five years should be getting out of his life sentence in the next couple months. He was imprisoned for kidnapping and raping a young boy. The evidence against him? The boy choosing that particular man's picture out of four others. Didn't matter it was night when this occurred or that the man's sisters insisted she was watching tv with him at home during the time of the attack. It would be interesting to know the specifics of the trial. Innocent people do go to jail, it happens. But this was a nineteen year old and he was sentenced for life! When courts began to allow cases to be reopened for DNA evidence, this man, now over 50 years old, was refused four times. Lady Justice really is blind.
