114 and counting: That's the number of men released from death rows in the United States in the past 12 years, after DNA forensic science proved they could not have committed the crimes the jurors said they did.I admit it.
I committed all those crimes.

Is it not more correct to report that the new evidence is in many cases NOT proof of guilt since it is often indefinite?
With this lack of proof, time passed, and death of witnesses, it is often not INNOCENSE PROVED...it is just not possible to go back and do it over again! They are then released!
I have a problem with the blanket statement that all were NOT GUILTY of the crimes.

This "114 and counting" is a phoney number. That IS the number of people gotten off death row. That is NOT the number released because of DNA analysis. Perhaps 10 were released for DNA reasons (and DNA was not an established, acceptable science at the time of their trials).
Most of the rest were released because their convictions were reversed on a technicality, decades after their crimes. Witnesses have died. Circumstances have changes. Prosecutors, while still convinced of the defendants' guilt, have declined to try the cases again -- perhaps for the third or fourth time, at public expense for both prosecution and defense.
Since the lead article in this compilation begins with a flat-out lie in its title and lead sentence, no further attention should be paid to it.

Well, you're off the hook for one high-profile California murder, at least.
