A miscarriage of justice occurs when a legal system fails to deliver a fair outcome, often resulting in the wrongful conviction of an innocent person. This can happen due to various factors, including inadequate legal representation, false evidence, or procedural errors during a trial. Such injustices can have severe consequences, affecting not only the wrongfully convicted individuals but also their families and communities. Organizations like The Innocence Project work to exonerate those who have been wrongfully imprisoned, highlighting the importance of ensuring that the legal system operates fairly and accurately.
