Bob<p>The National Registry of Exonerations released its 2024 annual report last week. They recorded 147 exonerations last year where the people involved lost over 1,980 years of their lives. </p><p>Read the PDF report here: <a href="https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Documents/FORMATTED%202024%20ANNUAL%20REPORT.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">law.umich.edu/special/exonerat</span><span class="invisible">ion/Documents/FORMATTED%202024%20ANNUAL%20REPORT.pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Exoneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Exoneration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/WrongfulConvictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WrongfulConvictions</span></a></p>
Bob<p>Why is it such a hard sell to make someone right after the state takes decades of their lives? If the state screwed up, the state needs to make it up to the people they wronged. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/WrongfulConvictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WrongfulConvictions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/exoneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exoneration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/InnocenceProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InnocenceProject</span></a></p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/wrongful-conviction-compensation-legislation-georgia-4de6e0d3c828769814c0386d7d56cdc9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/wrongful-co</span><span class="invisible">nviction-compensation-legislation-georgia-4de6e0d3c828769814c0386d7d56cdc9</span></a></p>

The fact that nearly every officer on the force will look the other way when they see their fellow officers violate citizens’ rights and commit other misconduct ensures that <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>abuse</span></a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wrongfulconvictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wrongfulconvictions</span></a> will occur regularly. It also ensures that taxpayers will continue to be on the hook for the millions of dollars per year that the city of Chicago pays out in settlements and jury awards in civil suits — not just to victims of police misconduct, but also to those officers who suffer backlash for their attempts to report it.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AbolishPoliceAbolishPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AbolishPoliceAbolishPrisons</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/2ndAmendmentPermitsGoonsForStateSanctionedViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>2ndAmendmentPermitsGoonsForStateSanctionedViolence</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DomesticTerroristMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DomesticTerroristMovement</span></a></p>
