Here’s an unbelievable and must-read story from Slate.com about Virginia’s project, dating back to 2005 and Governor Warner, to test the DNA in all old cases where convictions were obtained prior to the advent of DNA testing. So far the project has excluded the person convicted and in prison nearly 70 times, but only a handful of those inmates have been informed and exonerated. This includes Bennett Barbour, who wasn’t informed by the state that they had proved his innocence until more than 2 years after the exonerative DNA test.

☺ At least Murfreesboro, TN is closer to VA than it is to Dallas, TX ?

I dont understand this either, Like a case of a guy named Ben Spencer? A judge ruled him innocent over three years ago but he is still sitting in prison. You know if the system worked right in the first place, innocent people would not be in prisons, Then we wouldn’t hear how bad the crime has gotten. The crime has gotten bad because they are imprisoning the wrong people.
