Innocent People Suffering at the Hands of the Judicial System, & It Could Happen to You

[ChelseaCenior]

The majority of people who are exonerated (determined to not be guilty of a crime that they have been serving time in prison for)are let out without apology, or compensation. When they look for a job, home/car/anything loan, they must provide the information that they have been convicted of a crime even though they have been proven by law not guilty. I propose that once exonerated, the records of exonerated person must be expunged (have their record cleared of the conviction)for all record of subject conviction.

1. Wrongful convictions

That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Why should someone who was wrongly convicted be punished even after they are set free?
