DNA clears Texas man who spent 30 years in prison

It seems another screw up has been corrected way to late. Almost all the exonerees have been black and some were convicted because of faulty eye-witness testimony, with held evidence, over zealous prossecution, and of course bigotry. I've read of cases where the defendant was able to prove they were hundreds of miles away from the scene of the crime when it was committed and were still convicted.

I learned at an early age how hurtful bigotry can be and how people are judged wrongly just because of the color of their skin.I'm not a bleeding heart liberal but I am mindful of how I would want to be treated and give others the same due. After all Christ loved them just as much as He loved me.
