If a person is falsely imprisoned? Who should pay? right now the government pays but where does that money come from? from the public, right?
Well a jury of their peers put them there, so let them bail out, it was their mistake, and or the judge lol
is it their fault, or the fault of the person's lawyer who obviously did a crap job at defending them and proving their innocence...???
I doubt if I'd be worrying about who pays the final bill. If I was jailed for a crime I didn't commit, someone would have to pay Prision is a dangerous place and dangling my life on a thread would have to be recompensed.
Although it is the denfending lawyer's job to dismantle anythng delivered by the prosecution, that is only one piece of the framework that results in a judicial process. Sometimes the 'scale' is flipped, and the defense is much stronger than the prosecution, thus, occasionally, even the guilty are not convicted.
sometimes the prosecuters know they are wrong or know they have a weak case and continue to fight hard to put likely innocents in jail. Defense and prosecuter have an obligation to go hard and to try their best to win by means that are lawful the prosecuter should not allow anything to take precedence over justice itself. I think the state government, federal government, and any entity with oversight should bare the brunt of legal costs. If they need taxes out of my pocket to do so it won't be the first time our wallet's have falen prey to the bullshit of others...
yeah they have to pay. I wonder what they do if they had witness' that lied also alot of the prisons are privatize so that is one reason for crime being so high
The government (state, federal, whatever) that wrongly imprisoned the person should pay. As a tax payer I would have no problem with my money going toward righting a wrong.
AMEN! My mother was talking about the case in Connecticut and my father brought up how lenient our punishments are as opposed to castration, having your hand cut off or something brutal along those lines in other countries. I mean in jail, you live better than the homeless. Then I brought up this topic - how there are a number of people who are in this situation and because they're wrongfully accused, what if you did something to them like the aforementioned and they were innocent? Wow....
It is freaky when you think about it. It's hard to imagine losing a body part or being hanged or stoned to death & later to be found innocent.
It definitely is, but more so if you're innocent. Yikes! Thank God they're making strides with DNA....
That was quick. You replied while I was editing lol. I always think of what these innocent people suffer through in prison. I used to work corrections at a men's prison & it blew my mind how commonplace rape was. I also saw a man (who was to be released in 3 days) get stabbed to death with a shank made from a toothbrush! It freaked me the hell out.
You have alot of haters in jail/prison who will try to kill ya just because you're about to get out and their doing life.
We found out that someone he knew who'd been convicted with him (they robbed a liquor store together) had put a contract out on him when he found out he was being granted parole & his own had been denied. What was really crazy to me is that the guy was on a completely different unit yet still arranged for this guy to be killed.
Sorry, there aren't many active threads except this and Random Convo...lol Yeah, it's really sad. Those prisoners are some creative mf'as, but shit, what else do they have to do? Oh wow at the man getting stabbed. That's terrible, yet not surprising....
