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.
