Injustice or Justice?

David Milgaard: Posted September 26th, 2008. I have actually seen this story in video form, and it was absolutely astounding how the police didn't clarify all the evidence at the time, and instead years later about Milgaard had spent a great deal of his life in jail. This information makes me think about how many other individuals are in jail that are actually innocent, and have just given up trying to prove it because no one will listen to them.
James Driskell: Again like the case before, evidence needs to be tested several times to make sure it is clear and right. This is yet just another case of wrongful conviction, and the fact that the judge wanted to have another trial just to keep him in jail is absolutely horrid. You already had an innocent man serve time he didn't deserve and now you want to put him back through it? Not fair at all to this man.
Thomas Sophonow: First of all, police need to stop offering compensation to those people who will rat out friends, because most have been proven to lie just to get money. Secondly, a testimony from the drunken man should NOT count, because of where his mind was that night after confronting the murderer. Thirdly, if the first trial didn't find Thomas guilty, why would you have 2 more just to have the end result of him guilty? Fourthly, it is not reasonable to track pieces of wire back to a warehouse where they are popularly used. Also, shouldn't the police question the fact that the murderer coincidentally threw all his evidence over the bridge where the police could attain it?
Guy Paul Morin: As said before in every case, the evidence needs to be more thoroughly examined.
1. I actually found most of the articles made there point pretty clear that the injustice is very common.
2. All representations are fair, they all tell the truth.. hopefully.
3.a) This helps gives me a visual on the topic of David Milgaard, and how the crime actually happened.
b) This helps my work because it lets me understand more clearly about the topic, and gives me a visual about the setting, and where this crime could have taken place and how it was possible for the innocent to be proven guilty.
