Re: The Wrongfully Imprisoned
Dear who you are writing
It has been estimated that more than 10% (possibly 15%) of those in prison
are innocent. Many are convicted because of incompetent council.
Many are framed by the police and/or prosecutors. In many cases the
judges and defense attorneys are involved in the wrongful convictions.
These percentages also carry though to death row prisoners and those who
have been executed.
What is needed?
1. An investigation by the F.B.I. into all cases where
there is a chance that evidence was tampered with, fabricated and\or concealed
in order to convict the innocent person.
2. Investigation into cases where collusion between the
police, prosecutors, defense attorneys and/or judges in order to convict a
person who is or maybe innocent.
3. Legislation to make these cases (items 1 and 2) Federal
Crimes with suggested sentences that will make the perpetrators of these crimes
serve as much or more time in prison and those who they had wrongfully convicted.
4. Upon the presentation of evidence and determination
that a wrongful conviction may have occurred and new trial will be carried
out in the Federal courts if the case was originally on the state or a different
Federal judge and prosecutor if it was a Federal case and those who were involved
will be investigated and prosecuted.
5. The wrongfully convicted person shall be allowed to
sue the parties involved, including the Government agency, for wrongful prosecution
and for monetary damages to be determined by a jury, including attorney’s
fees, loss of income and mental anguish.
6. Since the wrongfully convicted are mostly minorities
and poor whites the civil rights laws should apply. Civil rights are
being denied to the minorities and/or the poor because they are minorities
and/or poor. Their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
are being denied.
These wrongful convictions are a not only a miscarriage of justice but also
a disgrace to our American Justice System. There is a lot of money made
from the corruption in our justice system and our prison system. A
full scale investigation of the system is not only warranted but it is imperative
to make the system truly a justice system instead of an injustice system.
(If you have a friend or loved one who is among the wrongfully convicted
add a case summary and note that more information is available. If some
of those responsible have been accused of fixing cases name them and what
they were accused or convicted of. If there is a web site, show the
URL here also.)
