Modern Science
I thought that this was clearly a bias article. It is in favor of getting rid of death row because of the lack of DNA evidence that lawyers and the courts have on the inmates on death row. In the headline it says that 23 innocent people have been removed from the living, but how do we really know that they were innocent? There is no evidence to back it up except for stating that there are incompetent lawyers, racial bias, and lack of access to DNA testing, but that's not any real evidence. Just because a couple people were taken off death row because there innocence was proven doesn't mean that the system is flawed.

I agree there is definitely not enough evidence here. Just because one jails court system is flawed, doesn't mean they all are All this artical talked about was that this one prisons death row inmates had some innocents... which says to me that the court messed up, not the capital punishment they were going to get. I'd say they need to reevaluate the court system and those running it rather than the outcome of what happens when you are committed of a major crime.
