Brickbat: Better Late Than Never

A California court has vacated the conviction of Maurice Hastings for a 1983 murder. DNA testing of semen collected during an oral swab of the victim, whose body was found in the trunk of her car, did not match Hastings. It did match that of another man who was convicted of an armed kidnapping in which he forced the victim to perform oral sex on him and placed her in the trunk of her car. That man died in prison in 2020. Hastings had asked for DNA testing on the oral swab in 2000, but the district attorney refused.

Look, if they granted DNA test requests for every innocent man on a prosecutor's resume...

There's a good chance DNA testing 22 years ago was not as good as now, and might not have picked up the match. Heck, the guy who did do it and died in 2020 might not have been in the database in 2000.

Jesus, what a desperate reach that is. Why not try not being a fetid unwashed arsehole with bits of shit clinging to it?

[mpercy]

Yes, but it would surely have NOT matched the innocent guy sitting in prison. SO, maybe we would not have found the true killer by DNA, but we could have released an innocent man 20 years sooner.

"LOS ANGELES — A man who spent more than 38 years behind bars for a 1983 murder and two attempted murders has been released from a California prison after long-untested DNA evidence pointed to a different person, the Los Angeles County district attorney said Friday."

From the link... NO mention of WHY innocent Hastings got fingered! Did they just grab the nearest random black man and charge him, or what? And WHO is gonna get punished for stealing 38 years of this man's life?

[MatthewSlyfield]

"And WHO is gonna get punished for stealing 38 years of this man’s life?"

Mistakes were made, but they weren't made by any actual person who can actually be held accountable.

Mistakes happen out of thin air. No one is responsible for them.

another man who was convicted of an armed kidnapping in which he forced the victim to perform oral sex on him and placed her in the trunk of her car

MO analysis, just like arson forensics, shaken-baby syndrome forensics, bite mark analysis, and forensic weapons analysis, even when performed by supposed 'experts' is shoddy science at best and has no place in the courtrooms or modern police work. MO analysis isn't even real The Science! /sarc

[perlmonger]

Sounds like the DA needs to spend the next 39 years in prison.

[SoSoCoCoMoFo]

Nah, just the next 22. Let's not go overboard.

[Brandybuck]

Being the district attorney is NOT about justice, it's about racking up convictions so you can get re-elected.

Greg Abbott did that. In Texas, MAGA now means Mothers Against Greg Abbott!

Look at the bright side. The Republican Party of Texas is hiring experienced girl-bulliers to stop sexually active females from fleeing Greg Abbott's Methodist-Baptist White Terror. Experience with sexual violence and deadly weapons are a plus. Successful candidates get free pardons and expungements.
