Yes. All of them.

Actually all of them in the post I was replying to where from a long time before 20 years ago. I do think there was one about 1960 but most of them where decades before that. In the post I am replying to now you do provide examples from within the past 20 years (thanks, that is what I was asking for) but here again its not all of them.

However, this is a minor complaint of relatively low importance because you have apparently provided what I asked for (I'll have to look more at the details to be sure). While technically it was not "all of them", it isn't really important for it to have been "all of them". Also the 20 year limit is admittedly arbitrary, I just put it in place so that we would be talking about the system as it currently works rather then some past defect that might have been corrected. I would have made it less then 20 years if it wasn't for the 10 year average time between conviction and execution.

A more important distinction about all those post 1970 cases you post is that none of them deal with someone who was actually executed. However I do think you did a good job of bringing up some cases where our legal system did not work properly.
