Supreme Court shields prosecutors in wrongful convictions - latimes.com: "Reporting from Washington— One innocent man, from Arizona, was sent back to prison for raping a child when the Supreme Court ruled he had no right to evidence that would later set him free. Another innocent man, from Louisiana, was convicted of murder and came within weeks of being executed because prosecutors had hidden a blood test that later freed him. The two men were linked at the Supreme Court last week by Justice Antonin Scalia, who argued that criminal defendants have no right to 'potentially useful evidence' that 'might' show they were innocent."
