the process in proving themselves innocent.
Seems kinda backwards to me.... I guess it's no different than being sued, someone can sue you for anything, then you have to defend yourself.
There needs to be some type of reform for lawsuit abuse, as well as false accusations.
I say if someone makes a false accusation, then they get the proposed jail term that the accused would have had.
x2...I have seen false accusations where the innocent really can't prove their innocence....
I work with a man now that it cost him 17,000 dollars and several months in jail before he was able to prove it wasn't him. He was lucky to have enough evidence to prove his innocence...Sometimes the accused are guilty until proven innocent.
im not saying we have a perfect judicial system. not even close. hell take the casey anthony trial for example. i couldnt figure out how any redblooded American could have called her innocent (soley my opinion). but at the same time, as technology gets bigger and better, mainly because of the use of DNA, we are starting to see people getting out of prison who where wrongfully convicted years ago. but what do you do, who do you blame, do you blame the twelve jury members that listened to the evidence and defense brought forth and had to make a decision. so what do you do for these people. give them some money and an "im sorry". thats a slap in the face, you cant get the time back. I agree its a flawed system, but its a hell of alot better than what most other places have or not having any system in place.
