Imagine how many people are rotting in jails or prisons on the basis of pseudoscience and miscarriages of "justice". On the basis of how they speak, how they look, how tall they are, how attractive they are. More attractive people get lighter sentences and innocent declarations than less attractive ones, for example. Our entire court system is one gigantic joke, "fire science" is not science, "bite mark" analysis is just guessing, it's all horseshit built to advantage prosecutors and police to secure convictions using lies.
On top of all this, we have the death penalty. When the innocence project was funding DNA testing, of those they tested, some 30-40% of the tests resulted in a reversal. We don't even do mandatory DNA testing, "too expensive". Of course the innocence project carefully selected who to test on the basis of the case details, but those high numbers either way indicate our justice system is involved in anything but justice. Then you have the plea bargain abuses on top of that. It's a travesty, from top to bottom.
