A Mishandling of Justice

In September 2011, a shooting occurred in South Philadelphia, and two suspects were implicated based on eyewitness identification. There would be inconsistencies in the eyewitness testimonies, and both suspects had alibis. Despite this, both would be charged and placed on trial for the shooting. What followed was a travesty of justice, where the suspects would face the potential of serving decades behind bars.

Takeaways

  • The judge's lack of intervention and the prosecution's reliance on weak evidence further contributed to the injustice.
  • After years of appeals and reinvestigation, CJ's habeas petition was granted, leading to his release and eventual exoneration.
  • The case highlights the importance of competent legal representation and the need for oversight in the criminal justice system.
