Last year, based on an anal- mum for the participants takes initiative to find Berlin Recreation Program Director ysis from the National Registry of Exonera- tions, 149 Americans in 29 states were released from detention for crimes they never commit- ted. Nearly 40 percent of those people had been found guilty of homicide. On average, an exon- erated person in the study had spent nearly 15 years in jail. “Innocent until proven guilty” is not just a memorable phrase heard on television crime dramas. All people, even those obviously guilty in the eyes of society, deserve the rights guaranteed in the Sixth Amendment. Even with those protections, we still live in a coun- try where some people spend decades in jail even though they had done nothing wrong. As we celebrate the most popular liberties, such as the right to speak, worship, and own fire- arms, we would be well served to not forget the many protections accused people have in our country. Sometimes when we “lock them up and throw away the key,” innocent people are placed behind bars. In our glorious coun- try, no one should ever endure, at the hands of their own government, such an avoidable fate.
