The staff of Missouri's attorney general goes on the record, in court, that people the state knows to be innocent should be executed anyway if they got a fair trial, no matter what new evidence comes up to prove their innocence.

To most prosecutors, trials are a big game, and once the verdict is rendered, they think they game is over. It's "unfair" to the state to have to keep adding extra innings years after the fact. The "unfairness" of executing someone the state knows to be factually innocent doesn't seem to bother them.

As the story says, this is how most prosecutors think: they're just mad that a court made them say it bluntly.
