One thing and not for NOTHING. Putting the wrong person in prison for something he or she did not do does not help the victim/survivor at all as the real perpetrator is still out there or more than likely in prison for something else she or he did.
That is what happened with the 2-24-1976 murder in Reno, Nevada. They convicted the wrong person on a false confession because a mentally ill person wanted a better room in a Louisiana prison. She was in a mental health facility or prison from 1979 or thereabouts to 2014. The actual killer was in prison for a different crime in Oregon. He had killed maybe 5 or more women in San Mateo, CA in early 1976. DNA tests got the real killer.
