Why would the innocence project, with limited resources and funds, spend their time and money on proving the State was wrong in murdering an innocent man when they have REAL LIVE INNOCENT PRISONERS to get off Death Row and out of Prison type thing?So far as I know, the Innocence Project has never been able to prove that anyone innocent has been executed. As I said, judges and juries tend to be very reluctant to impose the death sentence without overwhelming proof. Murderers are much more likely to receive life sentences.
I think this is a critical situation for them, with limited resources as said, and they are doing what MATTERS most at this point.
And just the fact that 17 of those they found innocent through DNA were on Death Row.... the 233 they found innocent through DNA, were falsely imprisoned for other crimes or in states where the death penalty is not used.
Anyway, that's ONE TOO MANY for me....
I don't believe ANYTHING has changed that would prevent further convictions of innocent men....since many of them were due to "man" either twisting information for their own personal gain, whether it be a cop or the prosecutor or the lab doing initial work, corruption is prevelent in quite of few of these cases.... and sadly, there will ALWAYS be corrupt people....imho.
Who was the MOST FAMOUS innocent man of all times to be put on death row and falsely executed?
Jesus Christ.
