Guilty by reason of being a woman


Nothing unusual here. An innocent, abused woman spent 14 years on death row when the evidence of her guilt was virtually nil. Plus there was evidence of her innocence that was overlooked. Naturally she wound up on death row after another ill-informed, dumb jury found her guilty of capital murder.

I agree strange indeed that men never get wrongly convicted!

Never happens to men does it?

"Two North Carolina men (Henry McCollum and Leon Brown) were exonerated earlier this week due to new DNA evidence after spending 30 years in prison, "

Ricky Jackson served 39 years before being exonerated

Ledura Watkins, 61, of Michigan spent an astonishing 40 years in prison for murder before being released and exonerated in June 2017.

Of course as these were men they were almost certainly guilty as sin (by virtue of being male) - Henry McCollum and Leon Brown especially even if they didnt rape and murder the 11 year old they might do it now that they are released

Ledura Watkins who was charged with shooting a 25 yearold teacher can he really be trusted out in society?

In 2018 139 men were exonerated - 4 of whom had been sentenced to death

Re: Guilty by reason of being a woman


It's not surprising that a few men, particularly black men, get wrongly convicted considering the fact that by far the majority of murders are committed by men.

How many white men compared to white women, taking into consideration the much higher murder rate, have been wrongly convicted?

Every time I see a case involving a white woman convicted of murder I hope to see much better evidence than the prosecutor had in the Debra Milke case as well as numerous other cases where white women have been convicted of murder on insufficient evidence. Otherwise it looks like that same old pattern is being repeated.

Philer Im not prepared to chase around looking up information like some dog chasing a ball.

You have made a claim STICK TO IT.

"women" do not get a bad deal - this woman got a bad deal just a many men get a bad deal.

8% of exonerations are of women and that is broadly in line with the prison population

Women do get a bad deal. I bet you couldn't find even one case where a white man was sent to death row based on a cop claiming that he had confessed to him. That happened in the case of a white woman, all by itself a tremendous indictment of our jury system in regard to its attitude toward women.

And I think you'll find that the men who get a bad deal are mostly black men, not white men.

please explain very slowly - because I confuse easily (apparently)

HOW does the alleged lack of MEN wrongly convicted have any bearing on WOMEN getting a bad deal???



of the last 2507 exonerations (end date 10/27/2019 )

1230 were black
929 were white
290 were Hispanic
58 were 'other'

I dont know what that all means but no doubt you will make something of it!

Re: Guilty by reason of being a woman


If the criminal justice system finding innocent women guilty has nothing to do with prejudice against women then there should be a proportional number of innocent men found guilty under similar circumstances.

If that doesn't happen in the case of white men but does in case of white women that's an indication that it isn't an "innocent" flaw in the system that is to blame.

What people need to understand is that our criminal justice system does not operate purely on the basis of evidence. It largely operates on the basis of bias, prejudice and the various levels of respect that people have for their fellow Americans. Sometimes outright hatred motivates a jury to find some woman guilty of a crime she did not commit. Debra Milke seems to be a good example of that.
