@paulg @patrickc Those 120 could be me or you.

@paulg @patrickc Pending a minimum of 4 levels of appeals and collateral review/appeals that vacate the sentence of over 600 of them.

@paulg @patrickc 1.5M prisoners in the US * 0.05 = 75k innocents in jail. Considering US prisons, that's pretty horrifying.

@paulg The ugly, awful, nauseating problem of judicial false positives. @patrickc

@paulg @patrickc What % likely to have killed someone else and what reduction in further crimes from death row system? Need full picture.

@paulg where I live, every 1 hour, 5 people are killed. And we are only talking about fireguns.

@paulg @patrickc and they've already been wrongly imprisoned for years

@paulg probably a lot more than that, actually.
