more or less it was about flat out racism (on the part of the prosecutors and law enforcement)

even after dna cleared daryl he still stayed in prison for a loooong time

even after dna cleared his name and someone else admitted to the crime (daryl was released) the family of the victim still believed he did it -

really it's an amazing movie

my girls a public defender so she had lots to say about the movie and I was like well

for every shady prosecutor out there there's a defense attorney getting some rich dope dealer off (or getting MJ off a kiddie rape charge or oj a murder charge)

she believes judges and prosecutors hold all the power in the legal system I believe money and class are the real power players

but she's right because she's my girl and has a law degree I don't - plus she's hotter than me

It's all about who plays golf with who in the court room.
