Many citizens even lose their lives, and not so much as an investigation takes place. When Sanjay drinks rat poison in order to kill himself, police inquiry is closed very swiftly just like in the case of Kalu’s death.

The mission of the agency is to “develop potential procedures to decrease the possibility of conviction of the innocent in North Carolina, thereby increasing conviction of the guilty.” In 2003 the proposal of the commission was implemented by the instruction and teaching committee of the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standard Commission and was incorporated into State Basic Law Enforcement Training.
