DNA Testing

First, how can the judicial system and the people of America (if it's even possible) make up to those individuals who have been convicted of felonies, locked in prison for years, and later found to be innocent? How can the jurors involved make up to the families? Obviously no human system of judicial procedures will ever be perfect, but I wonder how many men/women have either gone free when guilty or charged guilty when innocent. Would we rather see somebody, anybody, pay for a crime, in order to satisfy our minds that at least something was done? Second, I wonder how reliable DNA testing is.

I read this story today "Man exonerated by DNA is freed after 24 years," at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10995872/, and it made me think of To Kill A Mockingbird.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy" (Proverbs 31.8-9).
