I do know that there are many people that spent over 5 years in prison from before there was DNA that were free using DNA from evidence they still had.<br /><br />January 2015: "New York (CNN)—When Sharrif Wilson was released after being wrongfully imprisoned for more than 20 years, he couldn't wait to have a hot slice of New York pizza.<br /><br />Wilson, 38, died Saturday night at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan after suffering from breathing problems and other health issues, less than a year after DNA evidence led to his freedom, according to a statement from his attorney's office."<br /><br />February 2014: "Two men behind bars for more than half their lives over a triple murder walked free this week after DNA evidence tore holes in their convictions.<br /><br />Antonio Yarbough and Sharrif Wilson were teenagers when prison doors clanked shut behind them. <br /><br />Now, in their late 30s, they can hardly believe they're out."<br /><br />October 2013: "Exonerated by DNA evidence, James Bain isn't angry about spending 35 years of his life in prison for a horrific crime that he didn't commit."<br /><br />Actually it appears that DNA was available but not used in many cases like the above one.<br />Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-88192473532957542092015-07-25T12:54:11.455-07:002015-07-25T12:54:11.455-07:00I assume that this is in response to the subseque...I assume that this is in response to the subsequent entry. None of the individuals you mentioned were oncarcerated in U.S. state or federal correctional institutions. The Reverend doctor mrtin luther king was incarcerated in local and county jails on something like thirteen occasions, but i haven't found evidence supporting his having done any time in a state or federal correctional institute. i would never go so far as to say there is no innocent person currently being incarcerated in such a facility, which is one reason I am not pro-capital punishment, but I'm equally confident in saying that there's a 99% chance that anyone with whom I struck up a relationship woulld be someone whose association wuld not be in my best interests. someone needs to look out for the well-being of prisoners, but it needs to be someone else's cause. I will have to find another way to accomplish good in the world.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-84053749468622393342015-07-25T06:30:09.493-07:002015-07-25T06:30:09.493-07:00Also you do want to avoid people that are in priso...Also you do want to avoid people that are in prison like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King.

I like hear...For the record I am not bored by this. I like hearing about what is going on in your life and I love musicals. To my mother, musicals were the best events in life-- like a celebration of life. No matter what happened in a musical, it was always perfect.<br /><br />You may wonder what will happen in your next musical or tomorrow. But you do not have to. Green Day sings<br />"It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right, I hope you have the time of your life." Whether a musical is great or terrible, in the end you die. What is really important is that you are alive right now.Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-24183098668130723322015-07-25T04:40:27.074-07:002015-07-25T04:40:27.074-07:00Sounds like opening night went well enough, under ...Sounds like opening night went well enough, under the circumstances.knottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127277724751832329noreply@blogger.com
