I have to say in regards to the Taccetta situation, a law that allows judges to sentence defendants for crimes they've been acquitted of is one of the most insane things I've ever heard of. Totally unworthy of a democracy - why even have a trial then? Whatever you think of Taccetta, that's complete bullshit. And that's not even getting to the possibility that the government fucked him over with the evidence of his alibi.

Yup. You're found innocent.... and have to serve time... for shit you were found innocent of.

Makes complete sense.

Same situation for Dino Saracino ten years ago.
