Every time a wrongfully convicted person is released from prison, we must wonder to ourselves what it must have been like to deal with such a tragedy. Imagine walking freely in the streets of America one day - doing as you please - only to be picked up and thrown in prison the next. Suddenly, you are expected to be sit for an eternity in a 8 x 8 x 12 prison cell, thinking about the horrors of a crime that you did not commit, a crime you know virtually nothing about. The unnecessary trials and tribulations of a wrongful conviction don't just bring a great deal of pain to the exoneree, but to the exoneree's family as well.

"Who would want to be a prosecutor, knowing that if they made a mistake then people are going to be clamoring for them to go to jail?" Those were the words chosen by former prosecutor Robert Rogers in a recent CNN interview when commenting on current Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins's idea of holding prosecutors criminally responsible for knowingly sending innocent people to prison.
