From Judicial reform activist Joseph Zernik:
The case of Richard Fine was used only as an example. The vast majority of the victims are blacks and Latinos, and about a third of them were estimated to have been still juveniles at the time of their false imprisonment.
As quoted in the paper forwarded to you some weeks ago:
1) Reports by PBS in 2001 related to the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000) provided various estimates of the number of those who were falsely imprisoned in Los Angeles County as 8,000 to 30,000.
2) an Unofficial report by Prof Erwin Chemerinsky, Founding Dean of the UC Irvine Law School, and renowned constitutional scholar in 2001 stated upon review of the matter: “This is conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states… and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted.”
3) Unofficial report by Prof David Burcham, Dean of Loyola Los Angeles Law School in 2001 stated: “…judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did not commit.”
4) Official report by the Blue Ribbon Review Panel stated in 2006: “Innocent people remain in prison”. It also recommended “external investigation” of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which the US government so far has refused to conduct.
