The jurors did nothing wrong. Two eye witnesses including one who admitted to the crime swore with certainty it was him.
IF it has been positively proven he did not do it, those two witnesses should be prosecuted.
THE #1 FLAW in the criminal justice system is that there is essentially NO punishment for perjury.
There should be NO statute of limitations on perjury, it should be VIGOROUS prosecuted, and the penalties should be SEVERELY harsh - and based upon the level of the case perjury is given in. If in a 1st degree felony case? Perjury should be a 2nd degree felony with mandatory LONG prison time. Again, NO statute of limitations as perjury is often discovered years or decades later. There really is no reason for anyone to just not lie in court as DAs will not prosecute their own witnesses.
There also should be civil liability with no statute of limitations for perjury - where now even outright perjury in court is protected from civil lawsuits. If in court I declare you are a murderer, rapist, and thief, that is protected from any civil lawsuit for slander even if a total lie and proven a total lie. I don't think many people know that.
