We have always been fascinated with cases of innocent people that slip under the eyes of Justice (whether immediately corrected, those that linger, or those that continue to be so). We've created a Substack account which will cover some of those cases. Feel free to subscribe - it's free of course. There are two such cases on it already: The first being the mother was accused of faking the birth of her child (because her DNA did not match any of her three children), and the second; a man who maintained his innocence despite at least 16 individual, and separate, eyewitnesses, all stating he had committed crimes against them, and a handwriting expert opining this man was the culprit because his handwriting matched those of the perpetrator.
Fortunately, our Justice System has many procedural mechanisms in place to prevent these injustices to protect the accused, but we must always be vigilant and objective, because as these cases show, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and what seems common sense turns out not to be common at all.
