Seems to me some people are understandably angry at the problem of an innocent man being locked up for that time, and are looking for someone to blame without much rationality. That's how bad policies happen, well one way they happen.
The thing is they're looking at the wrong area, 'how could lawyers keep that infor secret and allow injustice', rather than looking at the more relevant question, 'how can we improve our justice system so that the innocent man wouldn't have been convicted, when some evil killer commits a crime and the wrong person is charged?'
I'd go so far as to say I suspect a lot of the same people who are angry at the situation of the innocent man in prison are also ones who attack proposals to give criminal defendants more rights.
People are going to commit murders, and innocent people are going to be suspected. Solving the situation when the killer confesses to lawyers isn't the solution; not convicting innocents is the solution.
