The Innocence Project may be able to move forward with helping Willie Manning prove by DNA analysis any evidence of his innocence through lack of reliable physical evidence tying him to the 1992 murders of two white college students. The aim of The Innocence Project is apply new technology to dispute convictions where ballistics evidence analysis is found to contain errors that could prove Manning and thousands of others innocent of the crimes they did not commit. There are many inmates on death row awaiting new trials where new DNA testing procedures can mean the difference between life and death for someone who was tried and convicted because law enforcement could not find anyone else to accuse of the crime. Not all inmates on death row are innocent, and not all are guilty of crimes putting them there.

This is a story regarding a man sentenced to death because he is black, based on testimony by a psychologist who testified that African Americans accused of a crime pose more of a dangerous threat to the public. Attitudes such as this fill the prisons with minorities, Hispanics and blacks as they over-represent the majority of the criminal justice system. Yes, due to poverty, lack of education and exposure to criminal elements pose a threat to the black community, but the black community itself does no pose a threat to society, rather being locked away in these death camps where gladiator survival skills are a daily reality. The prison system as it stands today is a greater threat to society than the young, one-time drug offenders who are serving sentences equal to that of serial killers, murderers, serial rapist, and child molesters.http://www.democracynow.org/2013/4/1/prosecutor_seeks_stay_of_execution_for
