John Grisham and Jim McCloskey’s new book, Framed, recounts dozens of cases where Death Row prisoners were wrongly convicted, often at the hands of crooked cops and corrupt prosecutors. Since the 1970s, more than 200 people convicted of murder have been exonerated. Something to consider when trying to reason this out.
Agree. I should have been clearer on this but another issue is that Biden’s pardons aren’t evidentiary based. I looked at all 37 cases (I need a life) and it looks to me like these are all cut and dried. I’m not arguing for the death penalty but noting that there should be, as you note, more reasoning and not just emotion. Happy holiday!
The 200 exonerated is part of the false claims which have existed, since 1998, when anti-death penalty folks told us that they could only prove 50% of the "exonerated" claims, which has now risen to a 71-83% fraud rate, depending upon review.
Media, inclusive of "Essential News", sadly, refuses to fact check and vet.

Did Grisham or McCloskey detail that for you?
