There are at least 30 serious cracks or flaws in the American Justice system.
From the National Science Foundation News
A recent study* reveals the extent of this problem. In 24 of a sample 28 cases involving Americans who were released from prison in the last few years based on DNA evidence that proved their innocence, eyewitnesses had made false identifications from photo spreads and lineups. No one knows how many others may be unjustly jailed every year due to false identifications.
Gary Graham was executed on the basis of one weak eye witness account.
Another NSF study showed a video of a staged crime where the criminal ran down a hall towards the video camera, then paused and looked straight at the camera. You were then asked to pick the “criminal” from a lineup. NOBODY thus tested said that the person witnessed was NOT in the lineup. They just assumed that the person witnessed was there.
This type of logic is known as a logical fallacy because the correct choice is not given; there are too few choices.
29 more flaws in the “judicial” system will be described in November.
