Just out of curiosity, could name one?

I could name many because, like I said, I wrote a paper on it. There was a significant problem in Illinois- more than 100 exonerated. But like I just said, that was due to new DNA technology and it will become less likely that the innocent will be convicted. You can get DNA off of almost anything. It's only going to get better too.

I'm pro-death by the way. I just put myself in the victims family's place. If someone killed my parents or someone dear to me I'd kill them myself.

Well, my question was to name a person who was executed in error, say in the last 30 years. I'm not saying it never happens, it's just that I can't recall a single instance.
