Let's also be very clear that the court is made up of (usually white men) people. There are plenty of appeals cases where the court goes to great lengths to keep someone in prison even when the law is 100% on the side of the wrongfully convicted.
I have read a state supreme court say "yes that is the law (to exonerate them) but still we're going to find it's ok (to keep them locked up)". Like, that was almost verbatim the opinion delivered. Can they do that? Well - yeah. Sure the appellant could try for the SCOTUS but #1 they had no money and #2 they'd lose there too, now.
That is one of the other reasons the criminal clown has gotten away with so much for so long.
In the SCOTUS case you are mentioning, they decided that actual innocence didn't matter as long as the proper procedures were followed all along the way.
It kinda does matter though. If you are innocent of a crime, and you can prove it, then you should be released from prison immediately, and paid out the ass for the amount of time and life experiences stolen from you, full stop, period.
If that doesn't bother you then you need to go take a look in the mirror and think long and hard about what it is that's making you a crappy human being.
You’ll have to explain how mentioning the reasoning of the court makes me a bad person. It’s almost as if you acting in bad faith, don’t know what you are talking about, and are stuck in edgy mode.
How am I acting in bad faith? If someone is innocent (and I'm not familiar with this court case for the record), and the Supreme Court decided the fact that they are innocent is immaterial to the case, that should be riot level shit.
They are basically saying if we mistakenly arrest you and put you in prison for something you didn't do, we can just say oopsie and keep you there as long as we followed proper procedures. That is super fucked up.
Yes but you said that I was a bad person for reporting this information.
