". I would say it is highly unlikely a person convicted today could be wrongfully executed in the US. Not so in some other countries (see: Amanda Knox)." You're talking about high profile cases......there are thousands of poor schmucks who are railroaded and prosecuted to help the prosecutor get his quota and to feed the local masses......it doesn't take a CPA to figure most of these people are minorities.....Death row is filled with them, most quilty but some who are not... They should consider themselves lucky I guess, it wasn 't too long ago they would have been lynched.... But look at the death row data and the DNA data and convince yourself all the rest are as they have been convicted... "It is too bad if a couple of people get executed erroneously after a fair trial through our criminal justice system." Yes, it's very bad.....nothing is gained by executing people....especially innocent people.. And fair trial is unknown is some parts of the country. As for drugs, I tend to agree with you.
