DNA test frees California man after 10 years

You know, some people probably miss the good old days when the good menfolks of the community would get together and take care of the miscreant themselves. It used to happen for dastardly deeds like murder, rape, brother (or sister or mother or father) of murderer, and that most despicable crime - frightening or insulting white women.

Peaches, I probably know as much about this specific case as you do - which is to say, nothing. Just out of idle curiousity, do you give the IRS or state revenue service the same blind faith that you do the justice system?

Before I say he's entitled to some form of compensation (or say he isn't), I've got to know more than what I've seen here. The little that Colin posted suggested the guy had a record for some violent crimes - but the witness identification seems more than a little suspect. Did they pull an Oklahoma, and hire an $800 lawyer for a capital case? Did they pull a Texas, and have an expert testi-lie? Did the cops and prosecutor "help" the witness identify him as the perp?

Of course, none of those things EVER really happen ... at least, not in Peaches' world.
