The fact that there is no national standard for compensating people wrongly jailed for crimes.
Not only is there no national standard, but apparently the majority of the states don't have them either, and of the over 100 people in the last several years(quoting length from memory so don't hold it to me) exonerated on new DNA evidence, only 12 have actually been compensated, and many weren't even given so much as a formal apology.
And for the record, I'm not saying that this compensation should be attempting to make up for the several years of their life left, I'm saying they should get it because this kind of mistake is life-ruining, and this is money the people are essentially going to need to be able to live.
Peace___Frog posted... There might not be a real "system" in place, but there's always civil court.
Apparently the victims don't even have court cases to save them most of the time. There are laws protecting everyone involved with the case(You cannot sue a cop, lawyer, judge, etc etc if he was doing his job) and most of the cases that do come up involve years of legal struggle with someone who is already burned on the system, assuming they can even find a lawyer who will represent them, and are rarely successful.

In what way is this relevant? It's not like he got rid of some awesome law that was a good solution for this.
From: EmDubyaSee | #009 It's relevant because that worthless excuse for a human is BY FAR the most "unforgivable flaw in the government". Which is what this topic is about.
Not really, but sure, any excuse to hate on Obama.
From: EmDubyaSee | #013 Because of this liberal board and their idiotic worship of quite literally one of the worst men in world history. I don't even know who I put him behind? Charlamagne was a pretty evil mother ****er, Nero is definitely burning in Hell, a couple Pope's I'm sure....but who the hell else actually goes ahead of this guy?
What has he done that marks him as one of the worst people in history? He may not be a terribly effective president, but stating that he is literally one of the worst people ever is just idiotic.

...who exactly "worships" Obama here? I've seen nothing but hate for him.

Durant will have one at the end of the year, (or, small chance Kobe has 6) so that is a moot point.
