Wrongfully Convicted: Innocence Being wrongfully convicted of a crime is a life changing experience. Over ten-thousand innocent people every year have to go through this horrible event. (http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/ronhuff.htm) Eyewitnesses take up a big told in why this happens, they will look at the line of people and tell the officers the wrong person, maybe not on purpose but the affect they will have on this persons life is unlike any other. Being wrongfully convicted means "A miscarriage of justice primarily is the conviction and punishment of a person for a crime he or she did not commit. The term can also apply to errors in the other direction—"errors of impunity", and to civil cases". So basically it is saying that someone is suspected to have committed a crime and their evidence matches up just enough for jury's to say that they are guilty. It could happen any number of ways. It could happen by misidentification by an eyewitness, which is the number one way. Forensic science problems is responsible for 65% of DNA exoneration cases. False confessions and admissions occurs in 25% of the wrongful convictions. When an innocent person falsely confesses it is usually because they think that they stand no chance in winning the case so they basically just give up on their selves and the let the jury win. Government misconduct is usually when the DNA is overturned because of the government taking improper actions. The last common way would be that there is bad lawyering, some people get inadequate defense attorneys without knowing me end up loosing and they have to pay the price, possibly for the rest of their life. Jeff Deskovic is a victim of this. When he was only sixteen years old on of his friends was out taking pictures for a photography class when she was approached by a man who raped, and killed her.
