| Who could that be? (Images by TreyGreer62) |
Robert Williams had been wrongfully arrested for shoplifting, based upon a flawed recognition system that is especially inaccurate regarding the identification of African Americans. The Detroit Police Department had furthermore relied upon a substandard video image in order to make this assessment.
Williams became the first United States person to be exonerated concerning a mistake of this kind. Let’s hope that his case will pave the way to greater justice for many.
