I've only read about this as anecdote, not as a statistic. Someone, maybe karen, mentioned earlier in this discussion the resistance in her (?) state to releasing DNA that might prove innocence. I saw someone in a DA's office interviewed not long ago about why, in an old case that appeared to have been an extremely dubious rape conviction and in which there was DNA evidence that could prove either innocence or guilt. The question was, "Why won't you release the DNA and allow this man to be proven either innocent or guilty?" The answer was, "He had a fair trial." It's that sort of thing that makes people cynical about the legal mind, I think.
