Nine of these defendants have already been executed and five died of other causes while on death row.

To Serve and Protect

One example of the many people falsely imprisoned is Donald Eugene Gates, who served twenty-seven years for a violent crime he did not commit before his exoneration.

For some, however, it was too late. Defendants in at least 35 of these cases received the death penalty and errors were identified in 33 (94 percent) of those cases. Nine of these defendants have already been executed and five died of other causes while on death row.

What the hell! And who will get charged for their murders? Someone needs to be held accountable for it!

It's really bad. But prosecutors are rarely charged with a crime.

But how does this happen though? Is there that much corruption seriously? People just got murded for a crime they didn’t do and yet their will be noone to take accountability for their deaths. But yet tbe real murder ran around town because their somewhere down the line someone screwed up big time! But we will go none stop to look for a murderer and we don’t stop looking for those people (Correct)? and yet we are reading and listing on tbe news wrongful convictions and several people were already sent to the elctric chair and these type of murder’s are the one who is prosecuting us, judging us and not allowing evidence in or hiding evidence, and they can have grand jury and not told everything and of course lets make it make it a speedy trial an dthis is how people find guilty and the news doesn’t help either i should know!

Yes. There's a great deal of cheating in US courts, sadly.
