Petition | Should Justice have an expiration date? | Change.org

Petition | Should Justice have an expiration date? | Change.org ~~ A large number of people are serving long sentences in the US prisons who were convicted in blatently
unfair trials, yet who are barred from seeking the basic justice of a new, FAIR trial through
federal review, due to this extremely unjust "expiration date" This needs to change in the simple
interests of justice. Whether it takes a person one or twenty years to bring their legitimate
claims of violations of their constitutional rights to the federal courts, they should have at
least ONE opportunity to have their case reviewed, to ensure theirs was a fair trial. Simply
refusing to even consider the claims because they are "out of time" results in far too many
injustices.
