I couldn't find a single example in the first two pages that listed even a single case where new testimony overturned a conviction. Yet there are hundreds of cases where new physical evidence has exonerated those wrongfully accused. How anyone can look at this and not at least question their conviction that testimony is awesome sauce evidence leaves me aghast. Unfortunately, our emotionally invested brick walls will likely ignore all this in favor of maintaining their convenient fiction that testimony is just as good as physical evidence.
Cuz jesus?
