Jailed but Innocent: Record Number of People Exonerated in 2015
"A record-breaking number of people were exonerated in 2015 — freed after serving time in American prisons for crimes they did not commit.
In all, 149 people spent an average of 15 years in prison before being cleared last year, according to a new
report (.pdf) out Wednesday from the
National Registry of Exonerations, a project at the University of Michigan Law School.
The convictions ranged from lower level offenses, such as 47 drug crimes, to major felonies, including 54 murder convictions that were overturned. Five of the convicts were awaiting execution, and were saved last year when courts ruled they didn't belong in the prison in the first place."

Executed But Possibly Innocent | Death Penalty Information Center
They list 15 specific cases in which the man executed was very likely to be innocent. In some cases it was gross incompetence or outright corruption that saw these men murdered by the state.
Here is an example:
"David Spence Texas Conviction: 1984, Executed: 1997
Spence was charged with murdering three teenagers in 1982. He was allegedly hired by a convenience store owner to kill another girl, and killed these victims by mistake. The convenience store owner, Muneer Deeb, was originally convicted and sentenced to death, but then was acquitted at a re-trial. The police lieutenant who supervised the investigation of Spence, Marvin Horton, later concluded: "I do not think David Spence committed this crime." Ramon Salinas, the homicide detective who actually conducted the investigation, said: "My opinion is that David Spence was innocent. Nothing from the investigation ever led us to any evidence that he was involved." No physical evidence connected Spence to the crime. The case against Spence was pursued by a zealous narcotics cop who relied on testimony of prison inmates who were granted favors in return for testimony."
