The overarching reason behind this page, is for people who were wrongly convicted of a crime and served time for it, or who were later released. However, Inez Garcia doesn't really meet this standard. While the subject of her case is questionable, yes, it is within the powers of a criminal prosecutor to charge for murder, even when a self defense argument is claimed. That's the very thing which happened in multiple other self defense cases, with the two most prominent being the George Zimmerman case, and the Rittenhouse case. The only difference between those cases and Garcia's, being that they were found not guilty of the charges, while utilizing the self defense argument. Garcia's case was overturned on appeal and returned to trial where she was acquitted of the crime she had previously been accused of. Thus, it doesn't fit with the overall narrative of the page to argue she was wrongly convicted, as there's no prosecutorial or police misconduct alleged to have happened in the case. Even her wikipedia page does not make such a claim, unlike the other entries on the list. For this reason, I think that it'd be best to remove her from the listing, as it's very difficult to argue her case was one of wrongful prosecution, if other cases that used a similar defense (which worked), are not also included. 2601:346:67F:4CA0:7C9E:D05D:60F:C6EF (talk) 00:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
