It gives some insight into how a few, not totally upstanding citizens, were abused by a corrupt criminal justice system. Perhaps unfair treatment by the criminal justice system in Oklahoma is not so uncommon.

Perhaps? Heh. I see a lot of "maybe" and "I think possibly" and "perhaps" when it comes to the notion that one segment of the population commits atrocities upon another segment of the population.
And then when looking at that other segment, I see a lot of "well he had it coming" and "he was on drugs" or "he committed crimes before" or "he was already a bad man."
Lots of excuses and perhapses and maybes about why one group would commit atrocities on another. Lots of head-nodding about how obviously the victims belonging to that other group deserved it.
