Are there any documented incidents of a person being executed and then proven innocent? "There is no way to tell how many of the 1558 people executed since 1976 may also have been innocent. Courts do not generally entertain claims of innocence when the defendant is dead. Defense attorneys move on to other cases where clients’ lives can still be saved.” https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocence/executed-but-possibly-innocent
December 20, 20223 yr Author Given how many are exonerated while on death row, it seems a certainty. Some take decades to be cleared.
December 20, 20223 yr It’s very rare that police and the prosecutors admit they made a mistake. Not a death penalty case, but the people that wrongly prosecuted the Central Park Five still don’t admit they were wrong and they clearly were.
