Attorney-Client privelage unjustly jails man for 26 years
I saw a story on TV last night about a man who was convicted of murder and got life. That was 26 years ago. Thing is, the real culprit's lawyer knew that his client was the real killer. But he couldn't say anything because of attorney - client confidentiality. The real killer died recently, so the lawyer was able to reveal the truth. The innocent man was finally released a couple days ago.
Isn't there something that can be done to avoid such injustice? The poor man rotted for 26 years because of a rule that I think needs revamping.
