Poor bastard spends 26 years in prison wrongly convicted

Mr Bill Dillon was 22 when he was sentenced to life in prison for a murder he did not commit. All because of a dog trained to track down scent.

When the dog was found to be a fraud and unable to track anything in 1984, the prosecutors in the cases did not inform those who were convicted by the dog. (The owner died last year and was never charged with anything.)

This case just shows you only the rich can afford real justice. I smell a huge lawsuit in this case.

Lady justice needs to take off her blindfold and replace her scales. Or maybe she should plunge that sword straight through her heart of stone.

It isn't the Goddess of Justice fault there are crooked DAs who will get a conviction without the slightest of fact checking or using any means possible. They want the convictions to stand so they can run for another office and state they were "tough on crime". The system as envisioned should work fine. Its the power hungry DAs, and money grubbing lawyers who have corrupted it.

How many people were executed or spent the rest of their lives in prison before DNA testing was around?
