yeah but the number of people that have been put in prison for long sentences, that 30 years later are determined to be the wrong people, leads to speculation that some innocent people have been executed, that is the issue.

This guy has been in jail for 30 years-
Louis Taylor was tried and convicted by an all-white jury and has been in an Arizona State Prison for more than 30 years. Taylor was arrested the day of the fire that claimed 29 lives. In interviews with survivors, firemen, eyewitnesses, prosecutors, detectives, and journalists, correspondent Kroft provides a compelling account of the fire and the ensuing police investigation — raising many questions about how thorough that investigation really was.

Now 46, Taylor steadfastly maintains his innocence; no physical evidence has ever directly connected him to the fire.
