ALL of those stats are faulty. First, asking the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to comment on the death penalty is a bit like asking al Qaeda to comment on capitalism.

Look at this one.
84 American citizens have been released from death row as a result of being wrongly convicted.

What they don't tell you is that almost every one was released on a technicality. Doesn't mean they didn't murder, just that some prosecutor or judge made a mistake at trial.

Each year, at least 4 innocent people are convicted of capital crimes.

Where's the proof for this one? Are they so good at fortune telling that they know what next year will bring?

The whole study is a joke and anyone who parades it around isn't dealing with facts.
