   In one case, it was recanted testimony.   
      
   That doesn't prove actual innocence. The testimony was given in the   
   first place in a deal with the prosecution. Since the testimony was   
   recanted, seems to me that his original deal is null and void and he   
   should be re-sentenced to whatever crime that was as if there were no   
   deal, and prosecuted for perjury.

   You're absolutely right. Good thing there aren't miscarriages of justice   
   everywhere else.
