Why So Much Injustice? - Donald D Schroeder - October 1985

Donald D Schroeder

Why do dangerous criminals often go free? Why are the innocent sometimes imprisoned? How do we help the victims of crime? FRIGHTENINGLY, it happens again and again in the United States! Killers, muggers, rapists, sex molesters-many who even have confessed to their-grisly crimes-are released from police custody or prisons to freely walk the streets. They're set free because of some loophole in the law or failure to perfectly fulfill some technicality in the prosecution. Within weeks of their release, many of these same criminals commit new serious crimes. On occasion, we are startled to hear of persons sometimes erroneously sentenced to long prison terms. Some have been convicted because of mistaken identity by witnesses, or by testimony of lying witnesses. Perhaps there was community prejudice against the person, or a frame-up. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
