Eight states — Alabama, Alaska, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming — do not have laws that give inmates access to DNA evidence.
I know there are arguments for not doing this, such as not permitting endless appeals and respecting the jury's verdict and so on.
It is all bullshit.
There are fewer things in the legal system that are of a greater moral wrong than keeping someone in prison who is innocent. I do not see how anyone can seriously argue otherwise without revealing a stunning lack of humanity.
