Gente inocente condenada o acusada incorrectamente de crímenes cada año (parte 1 de 2) Por Ismael González Abogado
, El Blog de Ismael Abogado de Gonzalez en Bigsight
October, 2011
anunciado en cdn2-b.examiner.com
Estudios indican que tanto como 10.000 personas son condenadas incorrectamente en los Estados Unidos cada año por crímenes que no cometieron. Muchos de estos individuos languidecen en las prisiones por periodos de tiempo significativos. Alguna de esta gente inocente va a la prisión por décadas, haciendo frente a un futuro desesperado e injusto o aún a la perspectiva de una ejecución. La evidencia y los datos históricos indican que, durante años, las convicciones ilícitas han dado lugar a la muerte por la ejecución quizás de millares de gente inocente. Estas almas desafortunadas pudieron haber carecido de la capacidad de luchar por sus derechos a la libertad debido a perjuicio, pobreza, enfermedad o retraso mental, barreras lingüísticas, o malversación del gobierno.
Incluso los que pasan un breve periodo de tiempo en la cárcel o reciben la libertad condicional por los crímenes que no cometieron tratan con obstáculos significativos. Pueden encontrar dificultad en la obtención de empleo y de vivienda. Por otra parte, los antecedentes penales hacen los policiales más sospechosos incluso en los acontecimientos aparentemente mundanos tales como las paradas en las señales de tráfico.
Convicciones ilícitas continúan siendo un problema como consecuencia de un sistema legislativo punitivo, que pone a menudo la resolución oportuna de crímenes sobre los derechos de los individuos. Como consecuencia de docenas de exoneraciones de gente inocente debido a evidencias de la DNA, podemos querer reconsiderar algunos de los problemas que plagan el sistema de justicia penal actual. Demasiado a menudo, la gente hace frente a convicciones ilícitas porque carecen simplemente de los medios financieros de demostrar su inocencia o porque confían en la gente del sistema judicial o del Departamento de Policía que les da consejos engañosos cerrar un caso legal. Los casos en los cuales han liberado a la gente de cárceles basados en la evidencia de la DNA que probaba inocencia reciben mucha atención de los medios de comunicación porque esta nueva tecnología del sistema legislativo más certeza en la justificación de culpabilidad o inocencia. Desafortunadamente, la gran mayoría de casos legales carece de evidencia de la DNA. Los acusados en la mayoría de las circunstancias, por ejemplo, pierden sus libertades debido a errores causados por la identificación de un testigo ocular. Los testigos, los agentes del orden y los miembros del jurado se apoyaron en un testimonio que podría haber sido mucho más exacto si se hubieran aplicado mejoras al sistema que han sido demostradas científicamente. También pierden sus libertades debido a confesiones o testimonios falsos, y defensas legales mal conducidas.
