The lawyer was a real disaster

Another person I wanted to talk to was Robert Jones‘s original defence attorney, Curklin Atkins, and as he never returned my calls I decided to visit his home.

After several minutes knocking on his front door, I noticed a movement in the car parked in the driveway. It appeared to be a head slowly being raised which disappeared again suddenly when I turned.

It was Atkins, so I walked over to talk to him through the car window.

“People can say whatever they want to say, they wasn’t in the heat of the battle,” he said, referring to people who have criticised his handling of the case.

The idea that it was his incompetence that led to Robert Jones spending 23 years in jail for crimes he did not commit, he dismissed as “impossible”.

“While people on the side are sitting back criticising and saying, ‘You could have did this, you could have did that, you could have investigated this, investigated that,’ they didn’t spend the time – they could have went down there and represented Robert Jones.”

Any other defence attorney might also have failed to find out that Lester Jones had already been convicted of Julie Stott’s murder, he said.

Robert Jones‘s original defence attorney, Curklin Atkins

How can someone be guilty of something they didn’t do?

A rush to justice sent 14-year-old George Stinney to death in 1944. It took 70 years to overturn his conviction in 2014.

The justice system makes it hard to remain indifferent when it perversely burdens innocent people with existential difficulties and, by abusing its position of power, subjects individuals to inhumane situations.

For example, by using fabricated evidence, as mentioned earlier in the case of 14-year-old John Bunn.

Understanding an unsound or unsafe conviction

is difficult because it is entirely unfounded, rooted in ideas, facts, and reasons that are incorrect.

Please listen carrefully to this video with 5 examples

An unsafe conviction (= legal decision that someone is guilty) may be wrong because it is based on bad evidence.

An unsafe conviction/verdict

Unsound

If a person’s activities or judgment are unsound, they are not good enough, acceptable, or able to be trusted:

Unsound accounting practices
Unsound police evidence

Cambridge Dictionary

A 14-year-old boy was sentenced to 17 years in prison

based on fabricated evidence!

Can we empathize with the excruciating pain of seven teenagers and young people and truly understand their situation?


  • They are shouldering the daunting challenge of being unjustly imprisoned,
  • for reasons entirely beyond their control,
  • due to a flawed and unreliable justice system.
  • They are grappling with the incomprehensibility of this egregious miscarriage of justice orchestrated by a corrupt cop.
  • The depth and severity of the negative spiral that these innocents endure is simply unimaginable;
  • it transcends human comprehension.
  • No words can encapsulate the unfathomable anguish and injustice they faced.
  • This is ‘a perversion of justice‘, as described in the Cambridge Dictionary, and akin to modern-day slavery.
  • On someone’s watch: highlighting the responsibility and accountability for the injustice.

Note: the 4th bullet is a peculiar one.

“Your very existence as a human is under threat.”

As Professor lawyer Geert-Jan Knoops puts it in his Dutch podcast about “Miscarriages of justice anno 2021, fact or fiction?”

7 innocent convicts set free

The innocence of 14-year-old George Stinney was disregarded,
leading to his execution on the electric chair without due legal process.

This serves as a stark example of the shortcomings within the justice system,
particularly evident in clear-cut cases, as highlighted in the introduction of this homepage.

The use of the electric chair for George Stinney’s execution occurred despite knowledge of his innocence at that time, not only becoming evident until 70 years later.
The case was deeply flawed, marked by minimal evidence and a lack of proper legal representation. Despite awareness of his innocence at the time, George Stinney was executed in the electric chair a mere 83 days after the crime took place. (Cfr. point E. Slip through the cracks)
