We continue with the legal ruling on the DA's and Prosecutors appeal of the jury's verdict against them in the civil suit for the wrongful conviction of JT.
JT's lawyers found a way to sue the Prosecutors and the DA, which most lawyers never attempt.
The public must keep in mind that it is the Prosecutors from the DA's office that puts the case together and presents it to the jury so, when they get it wrong it makes sense to pursue them civilly ( especially given the facts of JT"s case ).
This was a civil suit and if you listen very closely to the Appeals Court ruling, you'll learn about all the ins and out on the legal theory that JT's lawyers pursued and the capacities the defendants ( DA and Prosecutors ) were sued in.
The people that usually help free the innocent spend days, years, months reading over transcripts and re-investigating the case and to find a way to get the case back in front of a judge.
It's usually those at the Innocence Projects, Journalism Students, Journalists and Investigators that devote so much time to free someone that is innocent.. all the while the real criminal is often out among us committing more crimes.
It's my wish that every HBCU ( Historically Black College/University ) start an Innocence Project.
