Perhaps this will bring about rethinking the death penalty? Nah, conservatives like killing people too much.

For every eight people executed in the United States since the 1970s, one person has been wrongfully convicted and later exonerated, underscoring the risk of innocent people suffering the ultimate punishment, a death penalty research group said Thursday.

In a new report, the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) said its examination of every death sentence handed down since 1973 - more than 9,600 in all - revealed that 185 death row inmates had been exonerated after being wrongfully convicted, 11 more than previously known. There have been 1,532 executions in the United States since 1976.
