Convicted killers are found not guilty years later (and released) electric*mayhem*band.
New Zealander David Bain was 23yrs old when he was found guilty of killing his Mum, Dad & three siblings - regardless of the fact that at the time of killings, he was seen doing his paper-run
Fortunately, but not sooner because I never believed David was guilty, he had served only 13½ years of a life sentence (but still far to much for an innocent man) before successfully appealing his original convictions to the the British Privy Council, May2007. Finding there had been a substantial miscarriage of justice (I can think of more appropriate termology, albeit not polite), the Privy Council quashed David's convictions and ordered a retrial. The second trial held in Christchurch ended with his acquittal on all charges in June 2009.

And the point of this diatribe is what exactly ? People are well aware that there are some who are wrongly convicted. Some even lose their life at the end of a rope, in the electric chair, or by lethal injection. I can think of at least three people off the top of my head from the UK alone, who were executed (hung), and later found to be innocent. Timothy Evans, Derek Bentley, and Hussein Mattan.
In Pistorius's case, he actually admitted it, so I fail to see why you have highlighted my ID alongside the phrase above. What precisely are you attempting to convey, because the reason for this insertion has gone completely over my head ?
