In 1990, Michael Phillips was convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl at a motel in Dallas, Texas.. Phillips pleaded guilty because, he said later, his attorney told him that as a black man who had been accused of raping a white teenager that he should try to avoid a jury trial. He went to prison for 12 years and, after his release, spent another six months in jail after failing to register as a sex offender. Phillips’s name is being cleared.

Marsha Colby, a working lady, got pregnant at the age of 43 with the seventh child. She was a very hard-working and loving mother who wanted to spend time with her children. She had a small income so she couldn’t visit the physician for her regular medical checkup during her days of pregnancy. Her less attentions towards her health during pregnancy made the things worst and she gave birth to a still born child. In the article Kim Lanier talked about the same story about Marsha Colby that how she got punished by the court on the charges of her killing of newborn son.

It can put an end to accusers playing victim so they can get out of something they did wrong. It will also help those who speak the truth. Those who truly haven’t done anything wrong, but the police got snippy with them. The behavior shown by everyone being taped tones will change, knowing they are being taped. The weight of having one of them will be almost none at all.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey also failed in their jobs. They failed to allow evidence from another case that was in some ways connected to the defendants Case. Another item that the Supreme Court failed to do was disregard anything the defendant stated under the circumstance that all of his interrogations were not recorded. I don’t dislike the police, but the fact that the recorder was on the table and the police did not turn it on raises the question of “was it a false confession?”

The use of previous videos can be detrimental to new cops because it can teach them how to deal with many different situations correctly that way they don’t put their career in jeopardy or the lives of their partners in danger. Everyone knows that there is always three sides to a story: what one individual says happens, what the other individual says happened, and what happened. With the execution of body-worn cameras, it would eliminate, the reduction seen in complaints filed and sustained against officers and videos can reduce the need for lengthy

Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong In Brandon L. Garrett 's book, Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong, he makes it very clear how wrongful convictions occur and how these people have spent many years in prison for crimes they never committed. Garrett presents 250 cases of innocent people who were convicted wrongfully because the prosecutors opposed testing the DNA of those convicted. Garrett provided simple statistics such as graphs, percentages, and charts to help the reader understand just how great of an impact this was.

The biggest issue within the Criminal Justice system is the large number of wrongful convictions, innocent people sentenced to die for crimes they did not commit. People are put in prison for years, even executed for false convictions. This affects not only those put in prison but friends and family of the accused. Wrongful convictions aren’t solely a tragedy for those directly involved either. It weakens the faith the public has for the justice system as well as poses safety issues; when innocent people are put away, the real criminals are still out there.

Furthermore, there can be several factors at play when a wrongful conviction occurs and each case is unique. Three of the more common and detrimental factors that will be explored in this essay are eyewitness error, the use of jailhouse informants and professional and institutional misconduct. Firstly, eyewitness testimony can be a major contributor to a conviction and is an important factor in wrongful conviction (Campbell & Denov, 2016, p. 227). Witness recall and, frankly, the human emory are not as reliable as previously thought. In fact there has been much research showing the problems with eyewitness testimony such as suggestive police interviewing, unconscious transference, and malleability of confidence (Campbell & Denov, 2016, p.227).

Crime Scene Investigation has become very popular on television. In the article “The CSI Effect” by Richard Willing, the author talks about how much criminal investigation television shows effect people. He explains how they have affected the way jurors are selected because of the evidence people expect to see. People tend to expect more evidence, when convicting someone, because of what they watch on television. “Prosecutors also have complaints: They say the shows can make it more difficult for them to win convictions in the large majority of cases in which scientific evidence is irrelevant or absent”

Thesis: Police interrogations can occasionally lead to false confessions due to misclassification, coercion, and contamination. I. The phrase “Innocent until proven guilty” is a popular statement among law enforcement and government employees, but this statement is not always upheld, as various errors, such as misclassification, are a major cause of false confessions. A. Misclassification errors are caused by “investigator bias,” where the investigator goes into the interrogation believing the suspect is guilty. (Keene)

The point is to have proof of what took place. In a situation where an officer is mistreating someone, they would be recorded, then possibly reprimanded, or may not have mistreated them in the first place. Many
