This is remarkable for its forthrightness, its candor, its sincerity.

Lead prosecutor apologizes, admits mistakes in Glenn Ford case (http://www.shreveporttimes.com/longform/opinion/readers/2015/03/20/lead-prosecutor-offers-apology-in-the-case-of-exonerated-death-row-inmate-glenn-ford/25049063/)

Hopefully this will not be seen as political rather as a thoughtful essay on our criminal justice system of general interest to all citizens.

The system is far from perfect. Mistakes are made. OJ got off.
