RE: Thousands of People in Only One State have Been in Jail for Over a YEAR and Never Proven Guilty
Truly heartbreaking... "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial..." - 6th Amendment to the US Constitution. We have become a nation of laws, and a lawless nation, ruled by an outright criminal government.
Really great article on a very under-covered subject of such great importance. Too many political prisoners behind bars as well, who have been convicted for crimes they didn't commit, and in many cases for crimes the State committed against them (like Jeff Weinhaus). Thanks @tftproject Upvoted & resteemed...
Yeah i dont know what they consider a "speedy trial" anymore, it takes months before many peple see a judge
