    "One peer-reviewed study suggested that at least 4.1 percent of those sentenced to death in the United States are innocent. With more than 2,700 Americans on death row, that would imply that more than 110 innocent people are awaiting execution." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/14/opinion/sunday/death-penalty.html …

        I’m sure praticitioners of ritual human sacrifice adopted a similar calculus.

        I can’t believe we still have the death penalty. The thought of accidentally killing an innocent person makes me sick. This needs to change.

        Barry Sheck has inspired great work over the years. @Bmoushey (my dad) ran a journalism based innocence project for 20 years based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With the help of his students at Point Park University, he was able to get 17 innocent people exonerated over that time.

        I don’t see how given the corruption and incompetence in our public defenders, police, DA staffing ,and judicial branch that it can be that low.

        That is exactly what I have been trying to get people to see at the very least 4% of people on death row are innocent So why are we risking innocent lives by enforcing the death penalty it makes no sense Julius Jones is one of the innocent on death row in Oklahoma #Justice4Juliuspic.twitter.com/Ob756bj9Dj

        I am pro-life...that means abolish the death penalty. Yes, some people are innocent due to lack of funds for a defense and overzealous prosecutors and judges.

        One study suggested that? There exists one study suggesting just about anything you can imagine.

        How many innocent people need to die before you think the death penalty is wrong? The point is - we kill innocents in the same of justice in America
