These mistaken convictions are happening in advanced societies despite the developed legal system! Just imagine nigeria where every conviction is almost by trial and error,no forensics or DNA analysis,no proper and adequate intelligence on the part of investigating officers, politically and financial influencable bar and bench!!! Numerous wrongful convictions and executions everyday. That is the major reason people are advocating against the death penalty. May God save us. 16 Likes |

olayinkajnr: And what will that achieve? @ explorers, I wish you could do something Nigerian based. There are many Nigerians in our justice system stuck in "awaiting trial" for years without ever seeing a court of law 5 Likes |

Did anyone else noticed that black people are the most accused falsely. And that the whites that were accused falsely and spent time in jail made more money than the blacks after been released? 13 Likes |

This thread just brought to mind a quite perplexing story I heard about an unlawful conviction of twin sisters in oko prison, benin city. The judge sentenced the identical twins to jail because there was no substantial evidence to prove which of the two of them committed the crime. It seemed the guilty one refused to plead guilty. |

Being falsely accused by your own daughter of raping her several times is probably a father’s worst nightmare. Hope this girl was sent to jail for life? If she can falsely accuse her father and leave him to rot for 9 years then she can do it again, 1 Like |

OP. You obviously missed the "George Stinney" story. It's actually the worst wrongful conviction story of all time. It's very pathetic, sad and emotional at the same time. I cried till I ran out of tears. "One of the most atrocious cases of injustice due to racial difference in the 20th century is George Stinney’s case. In 1944, George Stinney, a 14-year-old African American boy, was accused of murdering two white girls and convicted within 10 minutes by an all-white jury. He was then executed by electric chair." "On April 24, the trial took place at Clarendon County Courthouse, and the entire proceeding took only one day. The all-white jury gave a guilty verdict within 10 minutes. Stinney was sentenced to death in the electric chair." For the rest of the story.... https://www.unbelievable-facts.com/2017/02/george-stinney.html 6 Likes 1 Share |
