WASHINGTON – A bitterly divided Supreme Court tossed out a jury verdict Tuesday won by a New Orleans man who spent 14 years on Death Row and came within weeks of execution because prosecutors had hidden a blood test and other evidence that would have proven his innocence.

The essence is that, without a pattern of mistakes, one mistake is OK. IMHO even one mistake is TOO much. Where the death penalty is involved. Where the prosecutors are guilty. Goes back to my oft stated objection to Gooferment, you expect justice from the Gooferment’s courts where the Gooferment is one of the adversaries? It can’t happen.
