It's just weird (and self serving) to only vilify the system that ultimately freed you. That the actual result directly contradicts the claim that our system is unjust. It's great that the system is so just that it self corrects and is always willing to change outcomes if a more just outcome is possible.
Hey, if the shoe fits. It's also a condemnation of our sentencing laws that you forgot.
Anyway, this is less a reflection of juries per se and more so how our society (completely ineffectively) manages crime: convict virtually nobody, but when you do, throw away the key regardless of the evidence that leads to the conviction.
And let's not forget why these were seen as suspects: being black is a serious problem in such a racist society.
But he's also clearly a symbol OF JUSTICE as his conviction was overturned when new evidence was discovered. To say he was exclusively a symbol of injustice is to condemn the jury based court system we have entirely. No system is perfect and he was wrongly convicted but that's not the end of the story.
