So as a way of limited the state's exposure, laws like this have been passed around the country to keep cases away from juries. People who aren't covered still have the right to go to court to sue for violations of their civil rights. Wrongfully convicted plaintiffs with a prior criminal history are not as sympathetic as truly innocent people who have been snatched away from home and hearth and incarcerated all because of some error of judgment on the government's part.
If the person has been locked up for a long time, the state will have a difficult time defending itself because of witness unavailability, destruction of documents and the difficulty of even adequately finding out what really happened years ago. I suspect that this law like the others passed around the country will have constitutional challenges.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
