Nothing will change until the standard of guilt (beyond a "reasonable" doubt) is modified. It's impossible to prove guilt beyond any doubt. The states murder people based on theories. They've killed over 400 people in Texas since the death penalty was reinstated. Over 200 at the hands of Rick Perry. When he was questioned about it during the republican debate the crowd cheered him on. That's scary. If you look at the stats - you can see how racist our justice system is. Top of the list of executionees are black perpetrators with white victims. It's like we modified our lynching practice to suite the taste of the 21st century. It's truly disturbing.
