The Shreveport Times Guest Editorial, by Elton B. Richey Jr.
What Every Citizen Needs To Know About Wrongful Convictions
January 20, 2008
Over 75,000 people a year are arrested based on eyewitness identification. In Louisiana our incarceration rate, the highest in the nation, is 797 per 100,000, meaning that we imprison about one in 125 people.
In 1983, when a Sabine Parish Jury convicted Rickey Johnson of the aggravated rape of a Many woman, I was a young police officer, patrolling the streets of Shreveport and believing only guilty people went to jail. I never thought that 25 years later I would be the president of the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Though miscarriages of justice were talked about in the law enforcement and legal community, few were verified and many, if not most, of us believed “it could never happen here.”
