Research Paper

I've started doing research for my paper for English.  I'm doing it on the wrongly convicted/executed people on death row.  It is amamzing to me, with just an hour of research, the amount of cases of people thrown in prision for years even though they were later found innocent.  This is supposed to be the country where that kind of thing doesn't happen.  You are supposed to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, not found guilty because you wear all black and look creepy.  Our justice system  needs to wake up and do some major changes to keep this injustice from happening again.  It is bad enough that a life or lives is taken to need a murder trial anyway, but to take the life of an innocent person because the justice system fails them, that is murder also.
