In 1976 Stefan Kiszko was wrongfully convicted of child's murder.He spent 16 years imprisoned. He died a year after his eventual release.
He had a chromosonal abnormality, that manifested itself both physically and mentally.

At the time of his conviction he fitted many peoples stereotypical picture of a "child killer".Had we the death penalty at our disposal I have no doubt he too would have been murdered. And there would probably have been a queue of people, all baying for his blood and only too willing to perform the deed.

I wonder what the effect would have been on them, knowing they had killed an innocent and very vulnerable man?
