We had a case in the 80's when a black man named Darryl Hunt was convicted of murdering and raping a white woman. Evidence was not that great, but due to the local media, the cry was fry the dude...It was an all white male jury.

When the new DNA testing came out, it wasn't his DNA and later someone else was charged with the crime. He finally got out around 2005. The only thing that saved him from being put to death a few times was the mass cry of blacks that the trial was unfair.

There are possibly 1000's of innocent people in prision. I think DNA testing is backed up for years testing.

I think we need two types of the DP. One like we have, but if you have DNA and video, they should be put to death weeks after conviction.
