Maintaining a Conviction Rate

This article about the reluctance to accept recanted testimony in a sexual abuse case reminds me of Paul Craig Robert's articles about how courts are driven to try to convict innocent people by the prosecutor's desire to have a good conviciton rate. Also see here and here.

Thanx and a tip o' the hat to IFeminists.

That is all.
