The prosecuters and jury should be held more liable. They are the ones that bring up the case and provide the outcome of guilt, respectively, not an eye witness.

Not only should eyewitnesses be held liable, the prosecutors that withhold evidence that could have exonerated a defendent should also be held liable.

Yes, they should face criminal charges and be held legally liable for a portion of the damages that are being awarded to those wrongly imprisoned.
