Concerning: Wrongful Conviction of a innocent man.

This is important because we trust the government officials to do their job and extensive investigating on incidents.

My Views: The ex-prosecuter spent 10 days in jail! 10 days compared to the nearly 25 years the innocent man sat in jail. That was 25 years that the man wasted his life behind bars because lack of investigation. The article stated that the man's DNA wasn't a match in the murder. That should have been one of the FIRST things they done at the crime scene. There was no reason for him to sit behind bars that long for them to tell him he is innocent and that his DNA wasn't a match. That makes no sense to me. "But among the evidence Morton's attorneys claim was kept from them were statements from Morton's then-3-year-old son, who witnessed the murder and said his father wasn't responsible. There were also interviews with neighbors who told authorities they saw another man near the Morton home before the slaying." They disregarded all this information that could have convicted the right man and let the wrong man enjoy his life. I feel like they should have gave the ex-prosecuter more than 10 days and 500 hours of community service. "Morton's attorneys announced afterward there will be an audit of all cases previously handled by Anderson to look for other instances of alleged misconduct." This is good that they are doing this. They could probably find plenty of cases where he had tampered with it.
