Evidence that is obtained illegally is called INADMISSABLE, which means that if investigators miss even 1 little thing in the gathering of said evidence, even unto DNA, the WHOLE case can legally be thrown out immediately. Many CONVICTED criminals have been WRONGFULLY been put to DEATH, because of WRONGFUL oversight, or as I like to call it UNDERSIGHT, of the american judicial system. I live in america, or the US etc.. and I love my country. It's the only truly FREE country in the world, flawed as it may be. Hopefully, my country will see the errors of it's ways, and find faults, where faults need to be found. The errors do not lie in the hearts of men themselves, but in the system that put them there in the first place. I myself have NEVER met a man whom I would never shake the hand of.
