Heard this crazy story of American "justice" on the Criminal podcast.

A man is arrested for a crime cos the police used AI facial recognition. The man has a solid alibi: he was in hospital cos his child was being born.

6 months later, he pleads guilty. Why? He's been locked up all this time, awaiting trial. The only way he gets to go home to his new baby is to admit to a crime he didn't commit.

This is that craziness @mekkaokereke keeps telling us about.
