To do: ask my local NAACP branch if they think this is a good list. (I’m guessing the answer will be “yes”.)
Or not. Here’s a counterpoint: https://twitter.com/LilyBolourian/status/1266058333997367296?s=20

«The consequences of snitch testimony can be catastrophic. Of the 367 DNA exonerations in the United States to date, jailhouse informants played a role in nearly one in five of the underlying wrongful convictions. A seminal 2004 study conducted by Northwestern Law School’s Center on Wrongful Convictions found that testimony from jailhouse snitches and other criminal informants was the leading cause of wrongful convictions in capital cases. Today nearly a quarter of death-row exonerations — 22% — stem from cases in which prosecutors relied on a jailhouse informant.»
