“Government is just another word for the things we do together, like setting up staged drug buys at a concert venue, then arresting the venue’s owner, imprisoning him, and taking his property from him because he didn’t do enough to stop the staged drug buys.” [Radley Balko]

As I read the story about “innocents” in prison, it appears that subsequent to the questioned convictions, an appeals court ruled against S. Carolina’s interpretation of the law.
I’m not mistaken in that in general, appellate decisions are not applied retroactively.
