Wrongfully convicted and wrongfully acquitted mean the same thing to different people.
Wrongfully convicted means:
- Someone is punished for a crime they did not commit
- The actual criminal remains free
- The victim does not receive justice for being wronged
- Justice system receives "black eye"
Wrongfully acquitted means:
- Nobody is punished for the crime
- The actual criminal remains free
- The victim does not receive justice for being wronged
- Justice system receives "black eye"
Bottom line: juries make mistakes. Wrongfully convicted and put to death, to me, means manslaughter by the government. Even one time is too many. If you do not see this, feel free to discuss this with the family of the "wrongfully" executed prisoner.
I have even provided names of a couple of those "wrongfully" executed men. Their families shouldn't be too difficult to locate.
