Although I (still) do support our LE and our justice system strongly, I do agree about the Peterson’s of the world. Just like Gunn and Dumanis in San Diego, they KNOW they made a mistake. Why can’t they be human and admit that they were wrong? With Williamson, I think they had convinced themselves that he was the one who killed that poor girl but with their theory (also wrong) of two people having to be there, Dennis was the best they could find. It was one thing to wrongly convict Ron but with Dennis that is malpractice on all their parts. No question about it.

At this point, I have to say I don't trust LE and our justice system as strongly as I used to. The many publicized cases of wrongful convictions and how they occurred, and the refusal of LE members to admit mistakes and offer sincere apologies to those they wrongfully convicted, have caused me to be jaded and distrusting.
And it's a shame, because I would have so much more respect for a law enforcement official to simply say "I was wrong, and for the grievous mistake I made, I offer my sincerest apologies," or something like that.
Law enforcement officials are HUMAN, not machines, which means they can be as prone to mistakes as the rest of us. When they do make huge mistakes as they did in this case, and innocent people suffer, I don't see how these people can say things like "the justice system worked like it should" and expect to keep any credibility. The SD DA's office certainly doesn't have any credibility with me, and neither does the Ada, OK law enforcement community.
