I share your outrage/fear, and I invite you to contribute to The Innocence Project like I do: http://www.innocenceproject.org/
They've already exonerated about 340 people, which likely amounts to many lifetimes of innocents' jail time avoided

Jurys who fear the idea of having been fatally wrong more then they want too find out the truth. The idea that one could in his seemingly rightous wrath murdered someone innocent using a loaded state, seems so horrifying that more injustice has to be sunken into that fallacy.
Agencys who fear to be held responsible for the costs of incarceration and incompetence, on which whole carreernetworks where errected upon.
Finally a public, that all idealizations from the left and right, often consists of basically rage-foaming ill informed refusing the work-load of getting actually informed on a case.
Also the well sortedness a universe has, where for everyting bad that happens, there is a culprit, a actual blame person. So much more comforting to sleep at night with having propability in jail, instead of accepting the dangers that beeing alive inherits.
