Relative worth
Kudos to Matt Dees at the N&O for his story earlier this week comparing the settlements received by a number of people who've spent upwards of a decade in jail after being prosecuted and convicted of crimes they didn't commit, with the settlements being sought by three Duke lacrosse players wrongly accused of rape.
Kevin and i have both mentioned this, but Matt's got a bigger megaphone.
A little necessary perspective, if you ask me.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

It does disgust me that people who are wrongfully convicted and spend time in jail are often released with nothing. The 5th Amendment should have something to say about this...
