Confronting the issue of wrongful convictions, this argument
contends that these so-called mistakes or failures of the justice
system too often target the financially disadvantaged and visible
minority groups. Delving into the issues that underscore these
decisions, this discussion suggests that the desire to obtain a
conviction--thereby depicting the police and the court system in a
positive light--often results in false evidence and court decisions
based on prejudice and racism. Acknowledging its claims of
impartiality, neutrality, and objectivity, this consideration
nonetheless submits that the law is a tool designed to maintain the
illegitimate domination of society, and that turning to the very
system that erred in the first place to correct its errors is in
itself a miscarriage of justice.
