“It's crucial, in fact, for the public's perception of the justice system to be one that is of faith that we're actually delivering justice. And when we recognize that we didn't, that we go back and we fix it,” McCarty said.

Quite a statement with broad implications if even somewhat implemented.

To do it right would require setting up a whole secondary justice system to double check the work of the first. So many people would be uncharged that reintegration and employment of the formerly incarecerated would be a big deal. Also the retraining of prision staff to perform some other job as much fewer would be required.

All in all it is doable and should be done but a hard row to hoe politically.
