…this was the source for my ‘1 for around every 8/9’….its deathlenaltyinfo.org which feels like an official/reliable information source…I didn’t want to look at anything media led/related as that can often be slanted dependant on the leaning of media source bias…I think it was actually 1 death row prisoner exonerated for every 8.3 executed, so I did average that at between 8/9…




Since 1973, at least 202 people who were wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated.


A Death Penalty Information Center database of every death-row exoneration since 1972. For every 8 people executed in the United States, one other person has been exonerated from death row.
