With the number of people being 'released' from Death Row seen as a percent of the population, and the number of executions over the years, there can be little doubt that innocents have been executed.

I had always been in favor of the death penalty, but with these 'mistakes' coming to light and the great comparative cost of a death penalty vs life sentence (due to endless appeals), I find it difficult to justify anymore.

Note: I have no problem executing the truly guilty (viscious murderers, serial rapists, child molesters, etc), I would even flip the switch (or whatever). BUT, if we are to do it we need to do it right, quickly and cleanly. This botched effort here cannot be repeated, and to that end I hope she wins her suit.
