Another option is to punish all of those involved.

To me, the most troubling part is this: "State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle maintains her office held its ground against outside pressure, and took the time needed to do a thorough investigation."

It should not have taken months to see that the original conviction was flawed, so I suspect this is a paraphrase for the state attorney holding her ground until the evidence against her position was overwhelming. Once reasonable doubt has been established, continued incarceration begins to look increasingly like a kidnapping, the longer it goes on. Where is the justice in that?
