People Exhonerated from Death Row in the US since 1973

The following is a list of people that have been Exonerated from Death Row since 1973.  As time goes on, and people seek justice on behalf of the innocent, there will be more.

This list represents only those innocents that have been identified.  We've been wrong 159 times that we know of.  In light of these statistics, how can we afford to continue this practice in a civilized society?  Please join in standing against the death penalty in the US.  Write your Congressmen, Governors, and anyone else that can help us win this battle.
