Innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they don't commit.
More than half of Wrongful Convictions can be traced to witnesses who lied in court or made false accusations.... Other leading causes of wrongful convictions include mistaken eyewitness identifications, false or misleading forensic science, and jailhouse informants. Faulty forensics also lead to wrongful convictions.
Wrongful Convictions undermined the credibility of our Criminal Justice System and ruined the lives of innocent men and women. African Americans make up 47% of exonerations even though they are only 13% of the population.
Innocent Black people are about seven times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent white people, and Black people who are convicted of murder are about 50% more likely to be innocent than non-Black people convicted of murder.
