The Thomas Kennedy case is about a father being wrongly accused for raping his daughter. With his daughter accusing Kennedy for raping her, he has been sentence to prison for 15 years. Later then Kennedy's daughter admitted that it was false and that rape was a lie, because that she accused her father for raping her was because she had sexual relations with a boy in the second grade.
I believe that Kennedy was wrongly accused because there was not enough evidence that he physically raped his daughter. This case could have been easily proven that he was innocent if they had given him an equal trial and fight for what he was wrongly accused for. I believe that with the correct jury system, he could have been proven innocent and his daughter being at fault for the one making the rumor that her father has raped her daughter.
To solve this problem with jury being biased, each citizen should have a chance to speak. Also have a trial to prove they are innocent.
