Question

I went back to law school with an intense desire to understand the laws and doctrines that sanctioned the death penalty and extreme punishments. I piled up courses on constitutional law, litigation, appellate procedure, federal courts, and collateral remedies. I did extra work to broaden my understanding of how constitutional theory shapes criminal procedure. I plunged deeply into the law and the sociology of race, poverty, and power.
The folks doing police investigations work under an incredibly pressurized environment: governing body, the media, citizens, supervisors, the chief himself or herself. . . .

Funding and resources. Many things you’d like to fix—whether it’s training, whether it’s getting more DNA evidence, whether it's getting it faster—a lot of this stuff takes a lot of money, so certainly money, dollars, and resources were discussed generally, policies and trainingRead the excerpts from Just Mercy and "Wrongful Convictions.” Which claim could best be supported by details in both excerpts?

There are many obstacles to preventing and correcting wrongful convictions.
There is no clear path for wrongly convicted people to seek justice.
Both the media and citizens contribute to injustice in the legal system.
Problems in the legal system go unfixed because people are resistant to change.

Answer 1

"There are many obstacles to preventing and correcting wrongful convictions."

Both excerpts point to systemic barriers: the Just Mercy passage shows the author's immersion in the legal, social, and institutional forces (race, poverty, power, doctrine) that shape punishment, and the "Wrongful Convictions" excerpt lists concrete hurdles—pressure on investigators, limited funding and resources, need for better training and faster DNA testing—that keep problems from being fixed. Together they support the claim that multiple practical and structural obstacles impede preventing and correcting wrongful convictions.
