In the Corpus world prosecutors do not make mistakes or railroad innocent people.
This is untrue. Of course such things happen in a fallible system.
Out of certain high profile so called "miscarriages of Justice" cases, I do think the likes of Amanda Knox, (who couldn't be guiltier if she tried) Steven Avery & Brendan Dassey, The WM3, Adnan Syed and the Central Park Five are all guilty. I also suspect Ray Buckey in the McMartin trial was probably guilty of child molestation anyway.
Your problem is you evidently tend to take a piecemeal approach to evidence, as your comments re Holtzclaw victim testimony being crackheads seems to indicate, as if witness testimony was the sole thing which convicted him when there was dna and gps evidence against him also. You don't view the totality of the evidence, it seems.
And yes 99% of the time I will be correct and any high profile so-called "wrongful conviction" case I've studied has fallen under that category, so far. I'm sure in time I'll be empirically shown to be wrong and of so I'll be very happy as I certainly don't wish to see innocents imprisoned. But neither Holtzclaw or Letby are innocent. I'll eventually look into Ferguson's case and draw my own conclusions, whether innocent, guilty or undecided.
