Hell, now they simply kill them in the street and do not bother with a trial. There is no "integrity unit" to change that particular outcome.

As per: There was no historical Jesus. He’s a made up story. Christianity’s roots are in Greek culture.

Also, pretty sure Christianity is the only religion with a deity-human who is wholly fictional. Other religions have people like prince Siddhartha/the Buddha who were real and have magic powers attributed to them.

What might we have expected to happen when a Supreme Court Justice was allowed to opine that merely being innocent didn't mean we should stop punishing you. After all, the important thing was that the forms were filled out correctly. That's justice in America.

IIRC the trials are still too early but they’re months and months later. You have to read the dates on the title cards. I don’t know why people are shitting on law and order it’s the least bad cop show. I grant you that’s not saying much.

Here's an idea for a new series, Dick Wolfe. "Law and Order: Criminal Integrity Unit." It could show how people get wrongly convicted, and then after decades in prison, some of them are finally proven innocent. DUN DUN!

Starting with everyone convicted thanks to the “dedicated detectives of the Special Victims Unit.” Especially anyone brutalized or intimidated by Stabler!
