DNA has shown, whether it's the death penalty or not, there are flaws with eyewitness testimony, false confessions and crime labs. We know many more people have been wrongfully convicted than anyone thought.

I think most Americans would be interested in the error rate in the sense of how many people are wrongfully convicted, and that can be derived from the study. Based on that data, the death-penalty system is more than 99 percent accurate in that more than 99 percent of the time the system identifies the proper person. There is no claim that anyone has been wrongfully executed.

Paul Cassell (1967-)

because we have so many people who are innocent and so many people who have been released at the last minute on Death Row and wrongfully convicted.

There already have been seven people released in the United States who were wrongfully convicted and confessed to the crime. Twenty-two years ago, I wouldn't have believed this. But after what I lived through, I know that it happens. Something needs to be changed.

Once a person is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death, there is [sic] enormous obstacles they face in turning that around. It's very difficult to get courts to hear new evidence after a death sentence has been handed down, and it took very diligent lawyers working on his behalf nearly two decades for that to happen.

federal law makes it a crime to provide false testimony.

We recognize the duty of governments to combat crime, but this is a knee-jerk response -- it shows that China's 'Strike Hard' crime campaign mentality is still prevalent, at least in some parts of the country. There is no evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than other punishments.

I never thought about the death penalty until it landed in my back yard. Now that I've walked through those doors, I realize what a horrible place it is, not just for my son, but for everyone. I'll continue to fight the death penalty for as long as I can.

If you leave us confused about whether or not this is a crime or not, the impact on society is far greater than if you make the decision of -- it is a crime but proportionally ... it would not be a political death penalty case.

As perfect and as great as our system is, there are still flaws. And this is why it's important that people stand up and find adequate means to compensate those who have been locked up wrongfully.

No matter how heinous the crime, he doesn't believe that death is a punishment. Being as liberal as he is on the death penalty, he's not representing everybody in the state.

Stanley Rosenbluth

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

This is not a guy that anybody can say was wrongfully convicted.

If not this case, then what, in terms of applying the death penalty? The death penalty was designed for people like Royal Amos.

She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world. We continue to believe that no crime was committed, that our people didn't commit any crime. It would seem to be pretty difficult for any individual to be convicted on any charge, and I think that came out in the [trial].
