Ain't sayin it's impossible...but.... I don't think I've got all the answers, but I do see something absolutely terrible about a legal system that sends plenty of poor people to death row, only to be exonerated by DNA evidence, while OJ Simpson got away with a double murder.

I don't think every point I made is necessarily valid, but I do think that an 800+ year old legal system needs to be changed for a more modern era. Nothing wrong with wanting to change things, is there?
