INNOCENT: Wrongfully Accused on Death RowStatistics show that no less than 4 percent of those that are on death row today are innocent. In the first study of its kind, a team concluded that our of the 8000 men and women who have been sentenced to death row since the 1970s, at least 200 of those were innocent.
The numbers, of course, are very conservative. However, the number shows that it is possible that there have been more than 200 people put to death for crimes that they have never committed and the real criminal went unpunished. This is a very disturbing statistic because it proves that despite our best efforts to prove that justice is served, a large number of innocent people have been put to death.
Sadly, this study does not solve the largest issue when it comes to the death penalty and that is exactly how many innocent people have been convicted of crimes and put to death for them.
If you take the time to really look at the numbers you will get an idea of just how many errors are being made. It is hard for any of us to believe that an innocent person has been executed, however, this study proves that it does happen.
Of course, we have all heard the stories of those that were executed and then found to later be innocent, however, it is usually by chance that it is found that these people are innocent.
You see, there is no way for us to know how many of the over 1400 people who have been executed since 1976 were innocent. Once the defendant is dead, no one works to find evidence to exonerate the dead.
This is the shocking true story of 12 inmates, executed on death row who were thought to have been innocent. If they didn't do the crime, what does that say about justice?
