That's the other thing that really bothers me.  Where are you now going to find a jury without "that little voice in your head," or co-workers or future employers without "that little voice in your head?"


That's a very real problem. Look at the security guard who was accused of being a bomber in Atlanta a number of years ago.

Closer to [my] then home, several decades ago a young woman named Penny Serra was murdered in a parking garage in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. The New Haven police fixated on a young man named Anthony Golino as their primary suspect, and they spent years pursuing him and basically destroying his life. A few years ago -- decades after the crime -- a reexamination of the evidence along with some of that new-fangled DNA testing (which didn't exist at the time of the murder) led to the arrest and conviction of an older guy from Waterbury, Connecticut -- who had been in New Haven at the time of the murder.

Anthony Golino can never be "made whole" for the damage done to his life and his reputation.
