I think a satisfactory compensation for being wrongfully convicted is for the government to pay for anything the individual needs or wants for the rest of their lives. ]]> 2017-04-02 01:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136227 haileymajones https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136314 It surprises me at the fact of how much evidence can be left out, and that DNA testing was not always done in the past. I also find it surprising that it is legal to pay career criminals for their biased or untrue testimony in trial. ]]> 2017-04-02 01:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136314 haileymajones https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136401 I am most likely to remember that there will almost always be people convicted wrongfully, but we are always getting closer to stopping wrongful convictions all together, by learning from mistakes made. ]]> 2017-04-02 01:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136401 haileymajones https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136532 This is a photograph of James Driskell during one of his trial dates. ]]> 2017-04-02 01:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164136532 haileymajones https://padlet.com/haileymajones/pplqtcws17cz/wish/164165034 In this photograph, Driskell and Snophonow are pictured leaving Driskell's inquiry.
