"Clearly, the habeas process needs improvement, not only to ensure a more efficient and timely resolution of petitions and trials but, most importantly, to ensure that, when presented with substantial evidence of a wrongful conviction, it delivers justice in the form of a new trial rather than perpetuates injustice."
When a murder conviction is overturned 30 years later, it means something is wrong with the system.

BLACK ROBED PREDATORS & Psychopathic Prosecutors DONT CARE
"Lawmakers in Pennsylvania have quietly muscled power away from reformist District Attorney Larry Krasner, passing new legislation giving authority to the state’s attorney general to prosecute certain firearms violations in Philadelphia — and nowhere else in the state. The provision will expire in two years, or just after Krasner’s first term ends."

Mr. Johnson was acquitted of the murder for which he was charged. But a year earlier, a judge revoked his probation on the testimony of a prosecutor who said he was guilty of that murder. Now, he is still incarcerated on that revocation, even though he was found not guilty of the crime that triggered it.
Messenger: A jury found Carlos Johnson not guilty of murder. So why is he still in jail?
Case highlights problems with Missouri's treatment of probation violations, where more people are in prison on probation and parole violations than all but two states.2 weeks ago
This is so crazy. If you violate probation, you have to serve out the original defered sentence!??!! That should be the only thing they can charge him with since he was found innocent of the murder charge
There is a big difference on the standard of proof needed to revoke a probation and be convicted of a new charge.
Why is Reggie Ewing #freeReggieEwing still in prison ???
There is a man sitting in the Kansas prison by the name of Oliver Smith for committing a murder. I believe he is innocent. I also believe that I was sitting in the same room with the person that killed the woman
Because they are making money. So much for freedom! The day medical, education and justice system became privatized, we lost it all!
Another St. Louis prosecutor violating a professional oath, and a judge—a former prosecutor, of course—looking the other way. Neither will be disciplined by the state Supreme Court, composed of justices who don’t give a damn about prosecutorial misconduct.
Unjust at best, probably more like corrupt. In CJ Masters and reading of way too many of these types of injustices. What can we do?
Corruption is so hard to beat when you're innocent in prisons sadly my son is an the prosecutor got fired for coercing people to lie sad huh .
How can this possibly be legal?
I haven’t read the article yet but he’s still in jail because we have a corrupt/flawed system.
F#%$ing StLToday.
How does one actually go about dis bar'n these p.o.s.?
"If the presumption of innocence is going to mean anything, you should be able to have your life unless you're a danger and support your family before you have a conviction, or until you have a conviction," said Tricia Bushnell, director of the Midwest Innocence Project.
New Missouri bail reform means some defendants can’t be held in jail if they can’t pay
Now, in some cases, if a low-level offender can't afford bail, a judge can't keep them in jail until their court date.3 weeks ago
Where is the outrage, Coverage Of Iowa Corrupt Judges Courts Police YouTube.com/user/kornkobiowa ???
I'd also argue that newspaper publishing criminal charges before trials and pleas should be illegal as well.

Awww Jason Curtis isn’t on here like you’ve done before.
Any news on Micheals file of motion (think that's what it's called)
"As [Terrance] Lewis works to build a life for himself, he also wants to hold the city accountable. On Friday, he filed a lawsuit documenting allegations of wide-ranging police misconduct, including coercing witnesses, hiding evidence, and testifying falsely."

I thank you guys for what your doing for Jason Curtis but sometimes these stories are so heartbreaking. 21 years is not an amount of time I can be away from him. Six years is long enough. I pray for this man. It’s just not fair
Sounds a lot like the misconduct of the detective and prosecutor, as well as law enforcement who framed my husband 23 years ago. Not only is he innocent, but they made sure to put him away for 100 years for an assault they knew he did not commit.
