The new prosecutor (5.00 / 1) (#22)

Should be a model for the rest of the country. He has joined forces with The Innocence Project and is looking at back cases. He can do this because they save evidence.

In NC at least two lawyers who withheld evidence of innocence were promptly promoted to the attorney general's office. Gov. Easley, a good guy in most respects, has only pardoned five or six people in his eight years in office. We've released about twelve people who were wrongfully committed or whose convictions were based on abysmal trials.

I'm not voting for Moore for governor because he's a former inflexible prosecutor. I'd been favoring him until I found this out.
