60 Minutes script: 30 Years on Death Row

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/30-years-on-death-row-exoneration-60-minutes/?google_editors_picks=true

" The following is a script from "30 Years on Death Row" which aired on October 11, 2015. Bill Whitaker is the correspondent. Ira Rosen and Habiba Nosheen, producers.

There may be no greater miscarriage of justice than to wrongfully convict a person of murder and sentence him to death. But that's exactly what happened to Glenn Ford. He spent nearly 30 years on death row, in solitary confinement, in Louisiana's notorious Angola prison until new evidence revealed he did not commit the murder."

I could not believe the total lack of anything even remotely resembling compassion on the part of the current DA in that segment.
