I wonder which country has the most 'just' justice system. I sure as shit would not want to end up buried in the US system. I don't think I could let a wrongful imprisonment go. I'd probably go and earn a real sentence getting my revenge on those who did me over.

Doesn't surprise me about Texas at all.  In fact it wouldn't even have surprised me if there had been 149 people exonerated in Texas alone.
