OC:Wrongfully accused

My teacher also told us of stories of innocent people who were wrongly accused of murder then exonerated because of precise evidence. Recently NPR wrote a great story about a man in Dallas who his pretty much a head of the police department who has for the most part dedicated his life to proving wrongly convicted citizens innocent of their charge. In this country their is a lot of people who are wrongly convicted for soing something they really didn't do and it's amazing the ways they are now coming up with to help accuse the truly guilty and free the wrongly convicted. Including such of what this man in Dallas is doing. What he is doing is now using DNA evidence to help prove those that were wrongly accused innocent. Additional steps still need to be taken to help become more precise with convicting the truly guilty people in the future. Also to not wrongfully accuse prisoners of certain things they didn't do in the future.

Thanks for reading.
