Â Â Â Is it more likely for an innocent person to be convicted, if he or she is a minority, than a guilty person be found not guilty, if he or she is white? This is a small list of individuals who were convicted and sentence to death and later, in some cases spent over 10 years awaiting execution, found innocent.

Sometimes it is hard to prove your innocence, because you didn't know in advance that you needed an alibi.

Margaret Garside Feb 19, 2012, 4:28pm UTC

We don't NEED to prove our innocence; the court needs to prove our guilt.

At least, that's how the system is supposed to work.

We have a very punishing mindset as a nation

Margaret Garside Feb 19, 2012, 4:29pm UTC

Even worse, once you're arrested, too many people don't seem to care if you're actually guilty or not. No one is safe.
