Yes, mistakes happen. However the reason we know about those cases is precisely because the evidence can be objectively re-examined by anyone, and the conviction overturned. I wouldn't want to live in a society where that didn't happen and personal testimony alone was enough to convict. Would you? It's not even how the rules here are applied. I'm sure you'd be the first to object if we banned people solely on that basis.
