Dallas county leads the country, IIRC, in murder convictions in which no jail time is done. In some cases, likely innocent people were told "accept probation for murder or go to trial and get the death penalty". Which would you choose, if you were innocent?

Up until recently, the county jail was so incompetently run that they were actually LOSING people in the jail. The computer records were so terrible. They even had defense attorneys roaming the prison shouting out their clients' name, looking for them.

Civil liberties. Enjoy them while you can.
