Morton and Thompson cases; Prosecutors gone wild; Conrad Black asks how many wrongful convictions the public will stand for; Huffington Post.

ARTICLE: "Prosecutors gone wild: How many wrongful convictions will the public stand for?" by Conrad Black, published in the Huffington Post on January 6, 2012.

GIST: "Morton and his counsel have been assisted by the Innocence Foundation, which specializes in using DNA evidence to seek the exoneration of convicts. It and like-minded groups have sometimes been harassed by prosecutors and threatened with charges of obstructing justice. Innocence and Morton's own counsel claim that in this case Anderson disobeyed "a direct order from the trial court to produce the exculpatory police reports from the lead investigator," (a claim the investigator himself corroborates). Morton and his counsel have asked for a "court of inquiry" to determine whether Anderson and Davis should be charged criminally for abetting what they knew to be a false conviction."
