Well I dont know of any personally, but I believe there are many people who are sitting in jail for no wrong whatsoever. THe justic system has many loopholes. Innocent people are jailed whilst criminals, even war criminals go free and even occupy seats of political power.

Thanks for your response...I so agree with you. There are way to many INNOCENT people in prison and to many CRIMINALS walking free.

I do too. I think it is a load of you know what. There is something seriously wrong with our justice system. The person I know got railroaded. He is proof that when you hang around the wrong crowd they take you down with them. I only hope he has learned his lesson after all the crap everyone has gone through.

Thanks for responding...Our justice system is awful. You are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent. If you can't afford a top-notch attorney--well--your doomed
