Anthony Ray Hilton was imprisoned for 28 years because the state did sloppy ballistic testing.

The failure of his defense to hire a proper expert was icing on the poisonous cake, because that should not have been necessary; the state should have made sure its own ballistic tests were done right, and not prosecuted Hilton in the first place. Prosecutors are supposed to seek justice, not convictions based on fudging the truth.

How sad to give Hilton an iThing. From one kind of prison to another.
