I stand corrected: there were five proven cases of innocence: Thomas Sophonow for a donut shop murder committed by another; Donald Marshall from Nova Scotia; Benoit Proulx wrongfully convicted of killing an ex-girlfriend; Guy Paul Morin for the killing of a child; and David Milgaard of Saskatchewan, who served 23 years for a murder he didn't commit. It is likely that the very fact Canada does not have the death penalty allows time for circumstance and investigation to discover the truth. Death sort of closes the door on most defensive efforts... Also, the modern techniques of DNA analysis, etc. have been useful. Morin, in the above, was proven innocent after DNA analysis much after the fact. The evidence is mostly that the Canadian errors were due more to mistakes than corruption...so in a large population such as the United States, well...one can only hope they were all guilty, I guess. It would be horrible to have the world take you out if you were truly innocent...
