Texas Takes Steps to Restore Justice

According to reports, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals recently took huge steps to restore the integrity of the, currently broken, justice system.

State officials that such action will help to decrease cases involving wrongfully convicted and imprisoned residents of Texas.

Integrity Unit Announced

The Texas Criminal Appeals Judge, Barbara Harvey, recently announced the creation and development of an integrity unit.

This unit will reportedly help fix various glitches in the justice systems that currently exist.

It’s these types of problems that are responsible for repeatedly wrongfully convicting innocent people.

Trying to Fix an Error Filled System

Attorneys in Texas claim that over the years it’s been evident how the state’s highest criminal court has paid too much attention to the process as opposed to justice.

A long line of embarrassing rulings have also been cited, such as a time when a decision found nothing wrong with an attorney who reportedly slept through his client’s capital murder trial.

Court’s Mistakes Highlighted

The court’s overall dysfunction has also been highlighted through new technology and revolutionary DNA advancements.

In the year 2000 alone, thirty-three Texans were exonerated through DNA evidence.
