Perhaps he should set up a seperate division to handle this and let PI run it and he can just do a review when it's deemed necessary.

There's an argument that this is addressing the crime rate. When innocent people are convicted of things they didn't do, the guilty go unpunished. Perhaps they fall into the system through another crime, but there's no guarantee for that. And if YOUR family member was in jail for something they didn't do, wouldn't you want a DA to admit that someone made a mistake?
The DA investigated the original crime. They made the errors (willful or not) and the fact that this new DA is willing to correct those errors is quite refreshing in my book. Especially in a state who puts more people to death than any other two states combined.
