    In the SCOTUS case you are mentioning, they decided that actual innocence didn’t matter as long as the proper procedures were followed all along the way.

      It kinda does matter though. If you are innocent of a crime, and you can prove it, then you should be released from prison immediately, and paid out the ass for the amount of time and life experiences stolen from you, full stop, period.

      If that doesn’t bother you then you need to go take a look in the mirror and think long and hard about what it is that’s making you a crappy human being.

        You’ll have to explain how mentioning the reasoning of the court makes me a bad person. It’s almost as if you acting in bad faith, don’t know what you are talking about, and are stuck in edgy mode.

          How am I acting in bad faith? If someone is innocent (and I’m not familiar with this court case for the record), and the Supreme Court decided the fact that they are innocent is immaterial to the case, that should be riot level shit.

          They are basically saying if we mistakenly arrest you and put you in prison for something you didn’t do, we can just say oopsie and keep you there as long as we followed proper procedures. That is super fucked up.
