[QUOTE="GorillaG, post: 4362067, member: 49083"] Theres a documentary on Netflix about a police officer that put 5 people in prison that were later exonerated and the actual killer was caught by DNA evidence. The five innocent people sued of course and the county had to pay a MASSIVE multi million dollar settlement which doubled or tripled the residents taxes. The cop still insist the five are guilty and half the town agrees. Their lives were ruined because this officer thought they were "probably" guilty and went about "building" a case against them. Even forced some of the slower ones to confess. One of my instructors was a wise old retired homicide detective and he told me if you have a suspect, do everything in your power to exonerate him and then when you CAN'T you know he is they guilty one. A lot of people are being set free by DNA evidence because officers were taught incorrectly to identify a suspect and then BUILD a case against him. The exact opposite of smart police work. [/QUOTE]
