Illinois released something like 11 Death Row inmates a few years ago after DNA evidence revealed that they had ALL been wrongly convicted. I'm sure Gerald Amirault ("convicted" child molester from Massachusetts) and the Duke lacrosse players would weigh in here, too, if they posted on this forum.

In fairness, I don't believe that all prosecutors are ravenously, dangerously political animals whose only concern is their "win rate". I'm sure the majority are good men and women who want to protect society from the animals that they regularly prosecute. That said, I hear stories about prosecutors clearly prosecuting innocent people far too many times to be comfortable sentencing people to death.

I'm not a death penalty fanatic, at all, but innocent people die all the time for a multitude of reasons.
