We have heard many stories of people being put into jail for something that they didn't do. These stories have helped me see how crazy this stuff is. One of the craziest stories was when 3 teenage boys were accused of killing and raping a white women. The police made them sign a confession form by force and then made up a crazy story to go with their confession. when they were in prison all the other inmates hated them. they would beat and stab them many times through out their years of prison. After i think 20 years the real murderers confess to the crime and the 3 boys were let free into the world. These now men had to learn how to drive, how to write checks, and learn how to get a job. This ruined their lives to go anywhere in life.
DNA profiling has become a crucial part in crimes now vital to investigations; and since this prisoners have been lining up to be exonerated and have overwhelmed the people who are doing it. What they do is they recessive the letter from the prisoner to be exonerated and then they find the case and see if there is any signs of DNA in the crime scene. After that they see if the DNA matches the prisoner and if it doesn't they try to find the real criminal.
This was a really fun thing to learn about and how these investigators do it. It is also very interesting hearing about the stories about what it was like to be wrongfully convicted and how it was being let out. I really like learning about this and all this is very interesting to me.
