Texas is well known for putting the wrong person in jail, you have a County that has more exonerations than most STATES, sad:
DALLAS - In a case that has renewed questions about the quality of Texas justice, a man who spent 10 years behind bars for the rape of a boy has become the 12th person in Dallas County to be cleared by DNA evidence.
That is more DNA exonerations than in all of California, and more than in Florida, too. In fact, Dallas County alone has more such cases than all but three states — a situation one Texas lawmaker calls an "international embarrassment."
Only New York, Illinois and Texas have had more DNA exonerations than Dallas County, which has a population of 2.3 million, according to the Innocence Project, a New York-based legal center that specializes in overturning wrongful convictions.
Legislative push
"These are appalling mistakes, and in the case of Dallas County, there have been so many," said Democratic state Sen. Rodney Ellis of Houston, who is sponsoring a bill to create Texas Innocence Commission to scrutinize the state's criminal justice system.
A similar bill failed to reach the floor in the past two legislative sessions. But "my colleagues in the Senate, in particular, are beginning to see these are human lives we are talking about," Ellis said. "There are times when we make mistakes, and when we do, we ought to be big enough to admit it."
As far as Casey Anthony goes, you don't have to be Perry Mason to see the obvious. She says once all is explained people will say "Okay now we understand, everything makes sense now". Well if I was sitting in jail on a murder indictment I would start explaining, something she has yet to do. She said she would explain on bail, that's one of the reasons the one bond company bailed her out. Once out she said NOTHING much to the dismay of the bonds company.
