Regular Columnist James M. Doyle highlights the recent exoneration of ten men in Massachusetts, most of whom were wrongfully convicted in Suffolk County and are Black. Doyle argues that wrongful convictions are not just caused by individual "bad apples," but by systemic failures at every level of the criminal justice system. Doyle questions whether state appellate courts, such as the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, are interested in learning from these wrongful convictions, and argues that relying on end-of-process inspection for safety is doomed to failure.
