Peter Reilly was convicted of manslaughter.

Leonard Peltier's ordeal inspired a movie.

Joe Hill was executed for murder.

Mary Surratt was put to death for her involvement in Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

Johnson Chesnut Whittaker was expelled from West Point for a racist attack on himself.

Each of these people was wrongly convicted of a serious crime. As a result they suffered...some even died. These historical cases sadly show that justice is not always served.
