This seems to happen far too often! We all want crimes solved but justice is not done but convicting the wrong person while the real criminal runs free, Something similar happened in the Troy Anthony Davis case in GA. Witness' took their statements back, saying they were coerced by the police. Now Tony sits on death row hoping, waiting and praying for justice to be done! Cases like this are very sad.
