How Many More Are Innocent?

There have been 250 dna exonerations, since 1989. With most DAs opposing post conviction DNA tests the real number of innocent people in prison may be exponentially higher.

Should more DAs follow the lead of Dallas DA Craig Watkins in seeking out wrongful convictions?

Yes. The justice system was deigned to not be a party to political parties or ambitions. Unfortunately, prosecutors and defenders have used it as a political platform.
 
The nations so called criminal justice system is corupt.It all about getting the money and legalized slavery.Its a human rights atrocity of its own. Ya there people who need to be their but there is no justice in the imhuman treatment that prisoners are exposed to.Not to mention the fact that there is to many people in the nations prisions who shouldn't be there.
 
In English, Wanderingbare agrees with Sherriff Watkins, and also believes that prisoners mistreat each other, and that anyone in prison for drug charges should be let out.

People will act on how they are treated for the most part.Prison does nothing to reform the prisoner.Just the opposite modern u.s. prisons are universities for the criminal profession.
 
Every state should pass a law requiring DNA testing if it is even possible that it could overturn a conviction. It will cause a bunch of work, but it is the only Just position.
