No.

If a person has been convicted, it is no longer possible to "drop" the charges. The convicted person must seek to have his conviction overturned, either through an appeal or a new trial, depending on the circumstances and on the state's procedural law. At a new trial, he would be able to introduce evidence of the confession of another person as exculpatory evidence.

Is Osama bin Laden innocent?

Innocent of what? There is no question he suggested and helped plan the attacks on the US (many and varied, not just the 9/11 attacks), as he confessed to them and took credit. Now, that being said, he is likely innocent of war crimes committed against Jews, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the mentally ill, the criminally convicted, and Gypsies during WWII. He probably had nothing to do with the attack on Pearl Harbor 71 years ago. Stealing land and culture from Native Americans and Australian Aborigines probably wasn't his either. It is likely then that he is innocent of some things.

Did Michael Jackson touch boys?

Assuming this is a "real" question which it probably is not, Michael Jackson has never been convicted of any such crime against minors or anybody for that fact. Much of the "evidence" said to be against him was fabricated by the media and no proof has been brought place to prove any accussation against Mr. Jackson. This being true, all supossed witnesses have confessed to lieing just to get a peice of michaels fortune


What does it mean when you are not guilty in a criminal case?

If you are declared to be not guilty by a court, then you are acquitted and go free (the court has found you innocent of the charges brought against you).If you declare yourself to be not guilty, then you are denying the accusations made against you. A court will then hold a trial to determine the truthfulness of your claim.


What innocent people were convicted and sent to prison?

There have been numerous cases of innocent people being convicted and sent to prison, often due to flawed evidence, wrongful eyewitness testimonies, or prosecutorial misconduct. Notable examples include the cases of Ronald Cotton, who was wrongfully imprisoned for rape based on mistaken identity, and the West Memphis Three, who were convicted in a highly publicized case that later revealed significant flaws in the evidence against them. These cases highlight the critical need for reforms in the justice system to prevent wrongful convictions and ensure fair trials.

Supposedly to rehabilitate convicted offenders and have them "see" the error of their ways. Partly as retribution and punishment - but even more importantly - while they're in jail/prison they aren't committing any more crimes against innocent citizens.
