Costless Reform
The Chicago Tribune dedicates the entire editorial page to a single death penalty reform. Police are good people for the most part, but because they are good people they do the best they can to prove a case. Unfortunately, this eagerness causes the system to be warped. Creating checks on that eagerness is reasonable and just.
Update:
On Sunday, Clarence Page points out the advantages of videotaping confessions in relation to the police. I have always been amazed at the resistance to the idea. It should reduce the number of coerced confession claims plummet. And provide some juries some good laughs as they watch the fools confess on camera and then claim they were coerced by the withholding of M&Ms.
