Are you certain about this statistic? I know there are cases of executions where the convict insisted until death that they were innocent, and there are people who continue to work on proving them innocent after they have died. However, I don't recall that any executed criminal in at least the past 25 years has been ultimately determined to be innocent of the crime they were executed for. If such cases exist, do you recall any one of the executed people's name and where it occurred?


The difference between Genius and Stupidity is that Genius has its limits.
