CITE THIS!
After 12 years of looking, I finally blundered across the study of a
life time. It is: "Miscarriages of justice in potential capital cases" by
Hugo Bedau and Michael Radelet. A summation is in the Stanford Law Review,
40 (1987). The study, which I am still attempting to obtain, is of the over
7,000 U.S. citizens executed in America by cop-prosecutor-judge teams be-
tween 1900 and 1980. The authors and their students uncovered 393 innocent
persons railroaded-by crooked lawcrat teams into convictions punishable by
execution. Twenty-five of these innocents were actually murdered by the
lawyers' apparatchik. The victims' last words were suppressed. In almost
every case, evidence of innocence was deliberately destroyed before, during
and after the execution to conceal the chicanery used to dupe jurors into
assisting these murders.
These same cop and lawcrat crimes continue apace today, with judges
arrogantly ordering DNA destroyed to prevent any type of quality control
or proof of innocents being murdered from escaping into public knowledge.
( See the O'Dell case, and one in Louisiana that was publicized in a PBS
documentary on this subject about 5 years ago.)
The corporate media, often the knee-jerk lickspittle of local gov't
officials, despise having to report these cases, which angers gov't
officials, who are the primary source of media perks and reporters'
career advancement. E.g, vague, garbled, doctored reports on this study
and subject appeared in Scientific American, and not corrected, by Rodger
Doyle, who decided to subtract some of the atrocities of this study and
another by Columbia University prof. James Liebman in 2000, (finding that
7% of all death penalty cases from 1909 to 1985 or so were completely inno-
cent. "Death Penalty...a Broken System".) Doyle carefully kept secret
the source of his three reports, preventing us from uncovering the facts
ourselves for 12 years. (www.SciAm.com, 12-98, p. 31; 2-01, p. 27; 12-01,
p. 28.)
Prof. Liebman was kind enough to send us the entire report, which we
used to try and bludgeon some justice out of the officials who perpetuate
this problem.
Prof. Radelet sent me a summation of his study by the New York Times
(11-14-85, sec Y, p. 13, "25 wrongfully executed in U.S., study finds").
I am hoping to obtain the article in the Stanford Law Review soon, and the
list of innocents convicted and murdered, so that team THINC and I may
squeeze out more statistics on exactly how the cops, lawcrats and their
biased system are able to manipulate jurors into performing for them like
trained seals. Juror education is primary to forcing justice and honesty
into our justice system officials.
Additionally, I found that Hugo Bedau had done a similar study "...
20 years ago" (from about 7985). All these studies that show the glaring
criminality of the Lawyers' system need to be kept alive by their victims
continually rubbing them into the faces of the persons responsible for
allowing such corruption to continue. They get away with their crimes by
merrily saying into their media foghorns, "Let's put this behind us" or
"Let's move forward". Meanwhile, for us, it's just the opposite. We rot
gagged and suppressed, incommunicado, behind bars, deep in cages, til death
by caging, poor quality food, minimal, incompetent medical care, suicide,
deprivation and even murder by inmate or guard, unable to affect the
harassment and atrocities we are forced to endure daily. When we let them bury
their own system-wide crimes against the entire citizenry, and let them
stampede the herd with 24/7 crime terror hysteria and propaganda, we bury
ourselves. Public officials need, more than anyone else, to be Brought
To Justice, because their crimes affect 320 million citizens.
Anyone wishing to participate in bringing justice to people who
have put themselves above the law should join THINC at
