that's where the flaw is...from disenfranchising them to death penalty...that's why there are so many appeals etc because if there isn't reasonable doubt then a conviction must happen, even if the person is truly innocent.
there's people who say to work to change it... well those people who got disenfrancised are the ones who need to spread the word, to make those ignorant people less ignorant and to be wary of their position and what can happen to them. But as far as I'm concerned the dice have been cast and they don't get another chance, they should make it known and use their plight to scare people straight.
IMO that still won't work because of the apathy people have towards getting involved in the government.
