    Re “Record Number of False Convictions Was Overturned in 2015, Study Finds” (news article, Feb. 4):

    This tragic trend will not abate as long as prosecutors are rarely disciplined or punished for deliberately withholding exculpatory evidence, fabricating evidence and coercing witnesses to lie.

    A district attorney, with an eye on the next election, often gives his prosecutors great latitude to ensure a high conviction rate.

    It’s time that our laws are changed so that these miscreants no longer enjoy unconscionable immunity from prosecution.

  • Quadrophenia (1973). For some strange reason, this song is entitled "The Punk and the Godfather" on all releases except the American release. My compact disc has "The Punk Meets the Godfather." In case you're wondering, the punk is Jeb Bush and the godfather is Donald Trump.

  • Hillary Clinton needs to go home and be a grandmother (and take her senile husband with her). Nobody likes her and nobody wants her as president. See here for Dick Morris's latest column.

  • To the Editor:

    I congratulate the writer for investigating the outlook of other blacks who cheered the O. J. Simpson verdict.

    In thousands of trials, whites of every ilk and preponderance of guilt have walked away and still walk away, freed by an institutional conspiracy of prosecutors, grand juries, judges and juries. Blacks never expect to get and usually don’t get justice.

    In the O. J. case, at last, and for once, American (in?)justice swung the other way. White America got to feel for once what black Americans never stop feeling.

    Note from KBJ: Two injustices don't make a justice.
