ITT - Redditors upvoting something not oniony at all because it’s an unfortunate occurrence that happens far too often

I think you put far too much credit in how much people look at the sub before upvoting/downvoting.

I didn’t even realize what sub this was until your comment.

Outside of America this is an insanely Onion headline. Podcast gets men out of jail… what criminal justice system y’all running over there.

Does it really happen more in the US than elsewhere? Googling brings up plenty of cases in Europe and Asia. One of the top results is this wiki which is obviously incomplete but does represent most countries -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_miscarriage_of_justice_cases

Ehh…again googling came up with this list at the top -> https://www.innocence.fm/

Two in US, one in UK, one in Italy. I’d need to see some real statistics to believe this is dominantly an American problem, exonerated by podcasts or otherwise
