""conviction when no one actually witnessed it.""

"witnesses" are the problem. Often they don't get the look they think they do. Or they are in hot water themselves and "help" the investigators naming someone for a crime.

I like to see the evidence other than witness tesitmony everytime.

Something that makes me cringe is when they interview jurors after a conviciton in a high profile case. I hear things like " he didn't have a good demeanor in the courtroom" He didn't seem to have remorse"

That scares me.

And as for the lists provided showing multiple cases of exoneration, many of those listed aren't really exonerations to the point the person was innocent. Just that there was a techinal reason or otherwise to allow the conviction to be overturned.

I saw James Robison on the second list posted. Very much involved in the death of Don Bolles, along with Adamson and Kemper Marley.

I didn't see (glanced at the list) Ray Krone however.

Convicted of murdering a bartender after hours one night. Convicted using bite marks. Exonerated later when better evidence showed the bite marks could not be his, and I believe DNA also helped clear him.

At any rate, certainly there are some people on death row who did not do the crime that landed them on death row and that really scares me.

But if there is overwhelming evidence of guilt and the penalty applies, it should be much swifter than is usually is.....
