The US Supreme Court's Sanctions Injustice
Legal Business 2011/04/10 08:01"Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere" - as John Thompson personally tells his own "nightmare story of injustice".
Last month, the Supreme Court decided 5-4 to overturn a case John had won against Harry Connick Sr's New Orleans DA Office who oversaw his case, ruling that they were not liable for the failure to turn over that evidence — which included proof that blood at the robbery scene wasn’t John Thompson's.
The prosecutors involved in his two cases, from the office of the Orleans Parish district attorney, Harry Connick Sr., helped to cover up 10 separate pieces of evidence. And most of them are still able to practice law today.
In addition, of the six men one of John's prosecutors got sentenced to death, five eventually had their convictions reversed because of prosecutorial misconduct.
In America today......This could happen to you
Because of that, prosecutors are free to do the same thing to someone else today.
Read John's personal NY Times Opinion essay "The Prosecution Rests, but I Can’t".... and remember "Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere".
