In some cases, police or prosecutors in South Carolina and other states will engage in misconduct that wrongfully sends a defendant to prison.

For instance, police may develop tunnel vision after identifying the individual who they believe likely committed the crime. Instead of objectively viewing the evidence, authorities may try to make it fit their narrative.
