Answer: inaccurate reporting in the media

Explanation: False conviction simply refers to an untrue judgement that is been executed to an individual. This in turn causes the individual to be punished for a crime they didn't commit. It is also known as the miscarriage of justice. Of all the given, only inaccurate reporting in the media cannot be a reason for false conviction. This is because in deciding a case, the media does not influence the decision of the jury and the judge. But inaccurate eyewitness identifications, false confessions, mishandled evidence can all influence the decision of the jury.

The tea act was a way of protest against the tax unfairly put on the Patriots. The Patriots boycotted the tea but felt that it wasn't enough, leading to them dumping crates of tea into the Boston Harbor. Like this, the British started to take them a bit more seriously, and actually started considering war.
