on the ground of poor representation. This is absurd. We know 100% that innocent people have been imprisoned and even executed because they did not receive a fair trial.

What's worse is that in one ruling they decided that the imprisoned do not have the right to have new DNA evidence heard.
They've also ruled separately that it's permissible for people simply arrested to have their DNA forcefully taken on booking without court order/warrant. The judgement summarized DNA collection as no different than taking one's finger prints on booking.

What's the problem with this? If the person claims they are innocent, wouldn't having a DNA sample/fingerprints help clear their name?

May I rifle through your wife's underwear drawer? After all, if she is doing nothing wrong, then she has nothing to fear. OR, maybe people want privacy from an intrusive government.

So if you break into my house and start beating my kid to death with a skateboard, I have to stand by and watch just so you can have your "due process"?

Not really, just getting bored of the conversation. It's not fun if you don't put in even the slightest effort in your trolling. Anyway, I'm out. Try more next time. Bye.
