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.

Oklahoma botched the first execution, after it went terribly wrong and the man later died of a heart attack.
The second execution has been postponed for 14 days.

They won't do either. They'll fart around with it in the courts for 10-20-or 30 years, while the guy kills more people in the prison, or order hits to the outside.

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.

that's a bit conspiratorial... most of the time it isn't prosecutorial or judicial misconduct, but bad witnesses..... bad ID testimony, etc. and in many cases, DNA testing wasn't available, or results were inconclusive prior to better testing, or there was no retrievable DNA material.

but the reality is, 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)

Inmate tortured to death in Oklahoma's chamber of death.

The governor should be sacked immediately...the buck for all this stops with her...if only she'd bulldozed Oklahoma's death chamber/s as soon as she took office.

She didn't, she signs all the death chamber warrants, so whatever happens is on her head.

Oklahoma...killing human beings in cold blood in death chambers.
There oughta be a law against it.

You'd think Oklahoma would be civilised by now.

Charles Warner had been scheduled to be put to death two hours later in the same room and on the same gurney.

Like an assembly line of death.
Barbaric.


The 46-year-old was convicted of raping and killing his roommate’s 11-month-old daughter in 1997. He has maintained his innocence.

...states have found it difficult to find drugs to use in lethal injection executions, as many of the countries in Europe that manufacture them have refused to export them for this purpose.

Says a lot about what's going on.

 

[WinterBorn]

I have a better way to stop the complaints about lethal injection.

Stop executing people.

Interesting change of heart. How many of the inmates in your "Why are these creeps still alive" thread were video taped committing their crimes?

 

[PredFan]

Oh boo hoo, that piece of human shit suffered briefly before he died. He's lucky I'm not in control of how he's killed.

Do any of you bleeding heart nut jobs know what that guy did?

He kidnapped a 19 year old and her friend, forced her friend to dig her grave, shot the 19 year old twice and then buried her in that hole while she was still alive.

Anyone who feels for that scum bag is dead between the ears.

The guillotine was considered quite advanced and civilized when introduced, because it brought about an instantanious and (arguably) painless death. Much more civilized than hanging or a firing squad.

We don't have anything better yet.

It is interesting how modern fiction posits that there are substances that can be injected surreptitiously and cause an instantaneous heart attack (or whatever). It happens all the time on TV and in movies.

Why can't the states use some of that stuff? Or why not let "Dexter" be the executioner. Nobody will get to see it happening, but we know the job will get done.
