I can't think of much worse than being wrongfully accused...or having one of my family wrongfully accused.
But then again...
I can't think of much worse than having a family member raped or killed because a rapist or killer got off previously because evidence was excluded.
I can't think of much worse than having a family member killed in battle.
I can't think of much worse than having a family member killed or maimed by a terrorist action.
I can't think of much worse than having a family member molested by a previously convicted molester.
I can't think of much worse than having a family member killed or maimed in a fire set by a previously convicted arsonist.
Actually, until we figure out how to find out the truth regardless of what people say...me thinks we're gonna be stuck with mistakes being made. All of the above are pretty final too.
I'm all for exoneration due to DNA or whatever new comes along after that. But until that new comes along...I do believe we do it pretty damn well.
