Mr Rivera and Mr D'Arcy

Yesterday in the New York Times (15Nov 06) I read about Mr Joshua Rivera who is doing a long sentence for murder. But now a great deal of evidence has come forward which exonerates him.

The system is the same in as In Australia. Once someone is found guilty, and then later evidence emerges that a grave miscarriage of justice has occured, the system does not like to admit that it is wrong - and they keep the person in Jail as long as they can.

This is what has happened to William Theodore (Bill) D'Arcy in Australia (Photo above with his wife and daughters). Much evidence has emerged , including evidence of perjury. There are also 15 items of evidence, which proves Bill D'Arcy left the school where the indictable offence was supposed to have occured nearly a year previously. There are many other indicators of his innocence - but in jail he stays.
