More than 260 people have been exonerated after conviction through DNA evidence, according to the Innocence Project, which investigates cases and represents inmates.

FWIW, the Innocence Project confirms the guilt of roughly half the cases they take on.

There are a lot of lazy, liberal DAs convicting a lot of innocent people.

I’d like to know why if their DNA evidence can be used to free people from ‘death row’ in a matter of weeks after DNA proof of innocence, why the inverse is not possible was well- execution within weeks (I’d settle for months even a couple years)with same said DNA proof of guilt.

The only reason it costs more to execute than life in prison is because the same people who are opposed to capital punishment are in favor of unlimited appeals. It’s like saying you can’t cross the ocean because it’s too expensive .(because the ONLY way to cross it is by building a giant bridge)

Limit appeals to 2 appeals in 5 years or whichever comes 1st-out of time, out of luck.

....and that also is a good thing. Kinda makes the Innocence Project a twofer.

Those 3 justices should be ashamed of themselves.
