I have read several people opine that this is exactly why we should "respect the process" and let guilty verdicts stand. They claim it's out of consideration for the victim's families. That they should not be forced to go through it again.
Jeanette Popp: ‘When there’s a wrongful conviction, the family of the victim is victimized again’

Quote from linked article:
". . . I felt horrible, like I should have known all along that something wasn’t right. When there’s a wrongful conviction, the family of the victim is victimized again, because you’re going to go through the release and then another trial, and then you’re going to wonder: How could this happen? . . ."
