Innocent People Suffering at the Hands of the Judicial System, & It Could Happen to You

[ChelseaCenior]

The majority of people who are exonerated (determined to not be guilty of a crime that they have been serving time in prison for)are let out without apology, or compensation. When they look for a job, home/car/anything loan, they must provide the information that they have been convicted of a crime even though they have been proven by law not guilty. I propose that once exonerated, the records of exonerated person must be expunged (have their record cleared of the conviction)for all record of subject conviction

1. Cross-posting is OK, but you're overdoing it

with this one, I think.

2. Welcome to DU, ChelseaCenior!

And I disagree about only posting this once. You're fine.

I'm shocked that this would even be an issue. OF COURSE the records of an exonerated person should be expunged.
