Making right of a wrongful conviction

After watching this clip, I put it on my blog because I met someone in jail who got sentenced to a 21 year prison term that is actually INNOCENT of what she was accused of. The scenario was this: The woman, her brother & cousin were at a night club sometime last April and got accused of assault by another female. They went to trial. The supposed victim had one tiny scratch on her and there was NO evidence on the night club video camera of an assault. The woman's cousin had NEVER been in trouble with the law before but got sentenced to 7 years in prison. My friend had been in the system as a juvenile, but had already paid the price for her past. The DA brought forth her past record & her own attorney told her that the DA bringing up her past, for which she already served time for, was ILLEGAL! How can the DA's office get away with this crap! Furthermore, how did the court allow it? This is not what our tax dollars are supposed to pay for! She is appealing, but my heart goes out to her, her brother & cousin. This is one of the prime reasons I started www.dont-bea-victim.com and this blog. Let's pray she wins her appeal.
