You should read a article wrote by David Grann entitled "Trial by fire" that first appeared in the new yorker. Mistakes happen and just because a fancy talker can confince 12 people a man is guilty doesnt always make that man guilty...It might seem that we have a endless appeal system but that is for a reason. Sometimes "credible witnesses" are just people with their own agendas.
