SOciety demands justice, and the overall implication that justice IS right - even if it isnt. DNA testing obviously erodes that "rightness" by proving innocent people were found guilty - but at the TIME. . .they did what they felt was the right thing, and a FL jury was persuaded more by the prosecution than the defense. Again, justice at its heart isnt about right or wrong so much as maintaining the social fabric.
