The website deathpenaltyinfo.org lists many examples in America of people who were on Death Row and exonerated, as well as people who were executed but their guilt has been called into question.

It is also worth pointing out that some of the above cases were in the last few years, and several involved DNA. As good as our justice system is, no system will ever be perfect. There will always be mistakes.

Okay but the most recent conviction was 2002, and so if they have been found innocent in 2017 it proves that technology now is so advanced that you can prove with hard factual evidence that someone committed the crime.

Eh? You need to look further up the list- it's not in order of conviction date. There are several much more recent. Also, if you look at the right hand side of the table, many of these cases involved DNA evidence, which proves that even modern techniques don't always get it right.
