As a percentage of all death sentences, that's just 1.6 percent. But if the innocence rate is 4.1 percent, more than twice the rate of exoneration, the study suggests what most people assumed but dreaded: An untold number of innocent people have been executed. ]]> 2019-01-29 13:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/sl0kp7b670ez/wish/325353333 https://padlet.com/cwarner/sl0kp7b670ez/wish/325353447 In 1984 there were 75 cases that punished an innocent person.
