I tend to agree w people who say innocence cases are the low-hanging fruit of carceral reform, but it's remarkable -

There's a negative attack of defense attorneys defending clients who they *know* are guilty. This is why we have an adversarial system, folks. And, I'd like to see a smidgen of that anger directed towards the prosecutors and police who believe they are the only arbiters of justice.

Why don't they just swear him in before the bill passes? That way he'd at least get to serve out his term as every other position that's being eliminated is getting to do.
