Wrongful Convictions Continue to Scare Me

Is anyone else alarmed at the rising rate of wrongful convictions being overturned because of DNA testing being proof that innocent people are at risk? I'm terrified. Our legal system has become a mockery...we are so quick to convict, and in a growing percentage, INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Need more proof? Read THIS website, which states: A judge has overturned the rape conviction and life prison sentence of a Palmetto man who has served 17 years in prison.

I don't know about you, but personally, I'm terrified at the power our legal system has to put innocent people in jail...or worse. This fear is what prompted me to write the Justice Seekers series.
