Hmmm.

Susan is raped and murdered.

1974. John, a man with learning difficulties is arrested having been seen in the area. The police beat a confession out of him. John is jailed for 30 years and dies while in prison.

2009. John is arrested but is released after questioning by specially trained police officers. DNA found at the scene of the crime is matched to a man who lives 200 miles away who had it taken after spitting at a woman 5 years earlier. He is correctly convicted of the crime.

It's easy to view the past with rose tinted spectacles and sometimes the law is an ass. But some things have improved.
