Here in Japan a man and woman were just released after twenty years in prison for murdering their daughter, which they didn't do. She died in a fire at home that was an accident. When there's a suspicious death, the police seem to grab the nearest relative and keep them up for a few days under florescent lights until they confess. Done. Wouldn't be surprised if half of all supposed murderers are innocent. I can easily imagine being in that situation.
