Not on death row. The vast majority of people on death row today are there based on ironclad evidence that has been reviewed and re-reviewed, time and again. Even looking back decades, Innocence Project has been able to turn up a total of fewer than 20 over almost as many years -- and many of those were convicted at a different time with different evidence gathering techniques and technology for evaluating the evidence.

Just get over it. It isn't going to change anytime soon because most Americans support the death penalty without equivocation -- something like a 70/30 margin.
