Hi Lizzie. Innocent people are charged with crimes all the time. Few if any ever make it to execution day. The system is set up to avoid executions of innocent people. If there is doubt about guilt, even after a jury has rendered a unanimous verdict, a decade of automatic appeals and reviews by AI lawyers and law school students and state review boards and governors usually results in erring on the cautious side. That's why in the last 30 years, there has not been a single case where an executed person was later proved innocent.
