The last story really gets me. The prosecutors pushed for the death penalty, but thanks to some character witnesses, some from the White Sox, he wasn't executed. 20+ years later, he was exonerated with DNA evidence and returned to work for the White Sox.
Different circumstances.
Check out all of this evidence that proves that he did it.
If he hadn't been put to death, how many more millions of dollars could this guy have cost us in keeping him in jail, legal fees, etc?
