Celebrating innocence: Announcing...The Not Guilty Site - Lexington courts | Examiner.com

Recently I was contacted by a person who had read my articles on the kangaroo courts in Lexington, Kentucky. This person commented that Ray Larson's website proudly displays information on plea bargains and convictions but mentions nothing about those found not guilty. Solution: a Not Guilty website. I loved the idea so I immediately registered http://www.thenotguiltysite.com.
The Not Guilty Site will celebrate those who have been falsely accused of a crime and beat the odds by winning their innocence. Many people who are falsely accused of a crime must plea bargain a lighter sentence due to the extreme cost of going to court. In addition, there is always the danger of losing in court, even if the person is innocent. The rules for the prosecution to present evidence are more lenient than the rules allowing you to defend yourself. Worst of all, most prosecuting teams will fight to exclude any evidence that would point to your innocence. Sadly, prosecutors are in it for a win and not to find the truth if that would mean losing the case and exposing the city to prosecution.
