That's heartbreaking and frustrating. It's bad enough that she will never get that time back, but to not even be able to clear her name! If she had been cleared then she would have had to have been compensated for wrongful imprisonment, so I wonder if that's why many are railroaded into accepting pleas for lesser charges.
This rarely has anything to do with justice and everything to do with money.
Yes, can't admit wrong and have to pay ppl for being in prison for so long when they should have been free...
