Human error & the fact that science hadn't progressed sufficiently at that point to exonerate Cuddly Bear. No evidence at all for corruption. Nor has any surfaced in...whoa. 33 years now. So excuse me if I don't hold my breath for any to suddenly appear any time soon.

what was at fault for ron williamson's 11 years in prison?
Not familiar enough with the case to comment except to say again nobody is arguing that the system is infallible or that LE like any other large body doesn't have corrupt elements. Wrongful convictions can & most certainly do occur. Didn't happen in the Teresa Halbach case though.

what is at fault for the 4% of innocent's that are wrongfully incarcerated?
A fallible system.

The "system", the for profit prison business
Separate issue irrelevant to Ms Halbach's specific case.

and the fact that police/DA don't really care if they get the right person, they just want to get a guilty verdict, is what is at fault.
Generalisation & extraordinarily unlikely that you're correct re entire police & every single DA in existence. So I'm gonna dismiss that, sorry.

Poor people who can't afford adequate counsel don't stand a chance.
Avery's counsel wasn't inadequate & he's almost literally certainly one of those 96% who are rightfully incarcerated, so it's all good.
