Aren't there cases whose innocence has been discovered after they have been on death row?
- 7bit 2y agoAnd that's relevant how?
- atoav 2y agoI wonder how the fact that many innocent people do land in death row is relevant in the discussion about one case where someone didn't. Seriously tho, of course this is relevant. Either your authorities have extremely high confidence, beyond even unreasonable doubt proof or they don't. These are cases where people who didn't do it came close to the danger of being wrongfully executed by the state. If anything, this is a damning data point on how bad the executive and the judicial system are at only prosecuting when they have the proof. In fact it looks a lot like they will just take anybody who is remotely likely to have done it.
