They were just legally found not guilty. In other words the guilty bastards lucked out the second time. I may believe as high as two or three but they may or may not had something to do with the crime.
None of the victims that died were guilty.
There have also been 122 cases of prisoners [on death row] being shown to be innocent.
Not exactly. Innocence Project targets states where evidence is stored in conditions that don't protect DNA from degredation. Find a case that's 20 + years old, where the DNA has deteriorated to the point where it can't be matched up to the defendant, 3 of the 4 eye witnesses have died or disappeared and have the defendant recant his confession and all of a sudden you've got an "innocent" man on death row.
