The Slaughter of the Innocent: Those Who are Innocent But Still Sentenced to Death

29 of the cases were due to “other” which was hearsay, or questionable evidence. Alan Gell was a man convicted due to questionable evidence along with the fact that one of the prosecutors did not submit a tape by one of the girls who was a witness saying that she had to “make up a story” about the events that occurred to save herself from any liability involved with the case. Another 17 who were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death row were due to government misconduct.

You may say 173(those who were released and those who were killed) is not a big number or that it is not significant in proportion to those who are guilty and rightfully sentenced, however I am sure that it was a significant mishap to each one of those 173 and to their families who lost significant time with their loved ones. Also I am sure that it was significant to those who were killed and to their families all due to these mishaps.
