National Academy of Sciences Reports Four Percent of Death Row Inmates are Innocent
Posted: April 28, 2014 5:45 pm
In a study released today, the National Academy of Sciences reports that at least 4.1 percent of defendants sentenced to death in the United States are innocent. The article, “Rate of False Conviction of Criminal Defendants who are Sentenced to Death,” reveals that the number of innocent people is likely more than double the number of those actually exonerated and freed from death row.
The groundbreaking research reported that although 138 death row inmates have been exonerated and released after proving innocence, many other innocent capital defendants are missed if they are removed from death row or have their sentences reduced to life in prison after appeals. Once the threat of wrongful execution is removed, less time and resources are devoted to seeking out cases of possible innocence.
Just shoot them in the head. Faster and a lot less expensive.
while it's certainly less cruel than giving insufficient dosage....

One if the reasons for innocent people staying way too long in prisons, is judges and prosecutors who screwed up in these people 's cases, and they don't want it to be brought to light. The routinely block DNA testing to try to keep their asses covered. There'll be a special place in hell for them.

, while an argument can be made that certain crimes are so heinous that the person should be put to death, there is no excuse for putting to death someone who could possibly be innocent.

Agreed. Executions should be limited only to positively proven cases (ex. committed on camera; video shown in court)
Up the dosage!
