There is no justice in this case. Gurnee man exonerated after serving nearly 29 years in prison for murder of ex-wife files lawsuit against officials
“Herman’s wrongful conviction was the result of a fabricated confession, manufactured and concealed evidence, and false testimony by law enforcement, by public servants who abandoned their professional and ethical obligations to falsely acquire this conviction to advance their careers,” the [lawyers] said in a statement.
Forensic evidence that stated a time-window for the murder which was just wrong. The original estimate - more accurate - was NOT provided to the defense. You can give them a pass on the DNA evidence from 30 years ago, but not the rest.
And now the family of the deceased is also left without justice. A 30 year old cold case... I'm sure that will be easy to solve.
The System is a bureaucracy. It protects itself, and it seeks those things that advance the careers of the bureaucrats. Convictions are important. Winning is important. Justice is a distraction. The System sent an innocent man to prison for 29 years because it helped someone advance their career.
