Criminal defense
Innocent people are convicted for crimes they didn't commit much more often than anyone involved with the criminal justice system would deem acceptable. For the reasons and a brief video about why it happens, take a look at this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYONueqOFps&feature=youtu.be
Leave it to "the Onion" to take a humorous look at this phenomenon. http://www.theonion.com/articles/wrongly-imprisoned-man-wont-shut-up-about-it,1784/
Sometimes you have to laugh, but in real life, of course, it is no laughing matter. I have had the pelasure of getting to know guys like Dennis fritz who was exonerated after serving 11 years for a crime he did not commit and was the central character in John Grisham's book, The Innocent Man, and Darryl Burton, who served 24 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. These men, who each basically lived "Shawshank Redemption" in real life, are tremendous inspiration for people who care about justice.
